The color is known as Blue Radiance (Pantone 14-4816 TCX). Seems to be more of a blue turquoise.
You could combine a greener turquoise ("aqua") with blue turquoise.
I don't know how people are defining "coral". I don't think red coral goes with turquoise, but I see some votes for pink, which is one shade coral comes in.

For pinks, I was thinking Cradle Pink (Pantone 12-2905 TCX) would be a good pairing. My favorite shade, Fairy Tale (13-2802 TCX) just seems to be a bit bright to pair with this shade of turquoise, Fairy Tale seems to pair better with my other chino shorts in Placid Blue (15-3920 TCX).
I agree - the lighter shade is a bit more contrast with the turquoise and sets it off better.
While I do like navy, I don't tend to like dark tops over lighter bottoms - looks out of balance. Maybe crazy, but I'd rather have a turquoise shirt and navy shorts, or perhaps it's just the more neutral color on bottom with a brighter top?
I have chino shorts in three colors - pink, light blue, and turquoise. It seems like the hardest to pair are the turquoise. So far I have only worn them with white T-shirts.
I think even my favorite shade of pink would be too bright for them. I do have shirts in a lighter pink that might work. What other colors do you think would look good with turquoise chino shorts?
Black goes beautifully with turquoise. At least to me it does.
I do have a navy polo; I just don't know where it is (I have been trying to find it for a while). Navy is quite a versatile color that I think can be paired either with spring or fall colors.
Today for the Fourth of July I wore an interlock polo in Pantone 19-4057 TCX (True Blue) along with shorts in a muted shade of red. Is this a good pairing with turquoise or is it too bright? My navy polo I have been trying to find is Pantone 19-3920 (Peacoat).

The Pantone True Blue I see on the screen is subdued, not bright. I think it would work fine with turquoise.
Turquoise attracts the eye, so it pairs best with a more muted color (for clothes, anyway).
It looks great with warm neutrals like tan and brown.
White and ivory are safe choices with nearly everything.
If you pair it with a strong/dark color like navy or black, you'll need some turquoise accessories to balance it out. A chunky necklace would look odd with a polo shirt but maybe a cap or a hatband would tie things together.
Cool Gray might feel too similar to the turquoise, but a warm gray could work.
I think warms colors like red, pink, orange, yellow, or purple would seem clownish.
Purplish blues like indigo and light, soft yellowish greens would be nice.
Prints can go a little wilder with color combinations. One of my favorite print fabrics was a Laurel Birch floral combining cream, turquoise, royal blue, olive, purple, and metallic gold.

My name is Steiconi, and I'm a color junkie...
I had in mind a blue violet; I realize "purple" is a bit broad, vague. For women, I think a regular purple could work. It also depends on the turquoise: pale vs. a stronger shade.
Welcome, fellow color junkie!
I'm warming up to the "tan" idea. I think for a guy, that would look nice.
