I'm trying to articulate why I prefer dark shades of blue in an interface over dark shades of teal, especially since the color is on a dark gray background. To me, dark green feels "muddy" and hard to look at.

Is there a scientific or color theory explanation for this preference?

By the way, in case you are going to suggest that I just not use dark shades, I'm working on an app that will be used in a dark environment, so a light interface is not an option.
