Green Teal

Overview

Green Teal is a deep, cool green with a semi-gloss finish, marked by HEX #007C66. It excels in joinery, mudrooms, front doors, and feature walls, offering a fresh yet grounded look without being overpowering. This colour can change significantly between daylight, warm lamps, and surrounding materials, making it essential to sample it next to trims, flooring, cabinetry, and fabrics before a full application. Start with a simple palette, introducing a stronger accent only if the sample seems lacking.

Where Green Teal works best

Green Teal is most effective on joinery, mudrooms, front doors, and feature walls. For larger areas, ensure ample natural light or lighter surrounding materials to prevent the room from feeling enclosed. If uncertain, begin with a single wall, joinery face, or vanity, and observe it under different lighting conditions before expanding its use.

Pairing and contrast advice

White or very light detailing usually provides better contrast with Green Teal, with contrast ratios of 4.07:1 against black and 5.15:1 against white. It pairs well with warm whites, timber, travertine, linen, and muted brass. Without linked style profiles, keep the initial palette simple and let materials enhance the visual impact.

Finish notes

The semi-gloss finish of Green Teal enhances its vividness by reflecting light, which sharpens edges and surface variations. This is ideal for trim, doors, and feature joinery, but requires high preparation quality. Large wall areas may appear busier unless the rest of the palette is kept simple.
