Quality 0.94

Teal Green is a deep, cool green with a semi-gloss finish, marked by HEX #006D5B. It is particularly effective in joinery, mudrooms, front doors, and feature walls, offering a fresh and grounded aesthetic. Due to its ability to change appearance under varying lighting and material conditions, it's crucial to sample it next to trims, flooring, cabinetry, and fabrics before making a full-room decision. Begin with a simple palette, and introduce a stronger accent only if the initial sample seems lacking.

Quick guidance

This is a deep tone. It works best as an accent, joinery colour, or feature wall.

Where Teal Green works best

Teal Green is most reliable 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, start with a single wall plane, joinery face, or vanity colour, and observe it in different lighting conditions throughout the day before expanding its use.

Pairing and contrast advice

White or very light detailing typically offers better clarity against Teal Green, with contrast ratios of 3.34:1 against black and 6.29:1 against white. It pairs well with warm whites, timber, travertine, linen, and muted brass details. Without linked style profiles, keep the initial palette simple and let the materials enhance the visual effect.

Finish notes

The semi-gloss finish of Teal Green enhances its vividness by reflecting light, which sharpens edges and surface variations. This finish is suitable for trim, doors, and feature joinery, but requires quality preparation. On large wall areas, it can appear busy unless balanced by a restrained palette.

Frequently asked questions
