Blue and green are two of my favorite colors.

BLUE

Blue represents the sky and the sea. It’s associated with open spaces, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence. To me, the color blue brings a calmness to any space it is added to.

Blue is the color of light between violet and cyan on the visible spectrum. Some shades of blue include indigo and ultramarine.

GREEN

Green often has strong representations to nature : vibrant grass, trees, plants and rainforests. Green is often described as a refreshing, hopeful, responsibility, health and tranquility. To me, the color green feels full of promise while still feeling energetic.

Green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum. A few shades of green include sage green and emerald green.

These popular hues will help you get started in your search for the perfect shade for your home!

What is teal blue?

Teal is a deep blue-green color, named for the colored area around the eye of the common teal bird. Its hex code is #008080. Teal combines the calming properties of blue with the renewal qualities of green. It is a revitalizing and rejuvenating color that also represents open communication and clarity of thought.

What mood does the color Teal represent?

For many people, teal symbolizes restfulness. It is composed of blues and greens. Teal has a natural dignity that is bold, but not “in your face.” It often encourages a calm, reflective mood.

Where can teal blue paint colors be used?

Teal blue paints can be used anywhere! I often use a shade of teal as an accent wall color in my home. It pairs so well with white (I use Bit of Sugar by Behr). It is a beautiful, earthy color with a little bit of a calming punch.

It is perfect to use in your bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and more.

What are the best teal paint colors?

There are endless beautiful shades of teal. I am partial to Behr Dragonfly because I have used it in my home (hallway bathroom), but let’s dig into a few other great variations of teal blue below!

Dunn Edwards Teal Blue Paint colors

Nocturnal Sea color is a stunning deep turquoise blue paint. It was inspired by the ocean water at night. I love how Alex uses this teal bedroom paint with a bohemian wicker bed and artwork, such a striking combination.

Sherwin Williams Teal Blue Paint colors

Sherwin Williams Still Water (6223 )

Sherwin Williams Still Water is a soft blue paint that has gorgeous green-gray undertones. If you are going for a darker shade, but you don’t want your room to look too dark, this is a great teal wall paint option.

I love it paired with crisp white trim and the warmer wood tones of the flooring.

Sherwin Williams Riverway (6222)

Studio McGee used this rich Sherwin Williams Riverway Blue in the entryway of a Charleston, Utah historic remodel. It has a perfect mix of green and gray undertones and I think is such a calming soft teal color. I love it.

Sherwin Williams Succulent (9650)

Sherwin Williams Succulent is a little more of a dusty green color, but in the right lighting I think it definitely pulls to a more dark teal green color.

Jenni from I Spy DIY used this beautiful color in her Office makeover. The warm wood tones and pops of gold accents are the perfect addition.

Sherwin Williams Smoky Blue (7604)

This gorgeous blue paint color by Sherwin Williams is a perfect addition to Laura’s dining room. It’s a perfect medium blue/gray dark smoky color.

One of the reasons that Smoky Blue works so well in this dining room is the big sliding glass doors that allow more natural light to shine in. It is a cooler color, but is perfectly warmed up with the wood tones on the floors and furniture.

Sherwin Williams Refuge (SW 6228)

Refuge is a cool teal blue with slight gray undertones giving this paint a fun side. Use it in a study, bedroom or even doors and hallway like Tasha does below.

It strikes the perfect balance of blue and green that feels clean and fresh.

Vining Ivy is a teal paint color that is a beautiful blend of blue and green. It works equally well as an accent shade or a focal wall color. It pairs wonderfully with lighter tones and darker tones depending on what type of look you are going for.

Valspar Teal Blue Paint colors

Valspar Gypsy Teal (5010-8)

Gypsy Teal by Valspar is a vibrant teal blue color with cool undertones. It is such a welcoming color on Christina’s front door and plays so well with the cool gray siding of her home.

A happy color to use in accent applications.

Behr’s Wanderlust is a gorgeous dusky teal blue paint color. It was one of Behr’s 2017 trend colors and I can see why! It reminds me of calming waters and is a perfect choice for this teen bedroom.

Behr Nocturne Blue (HDC-CL-28)

Nocturne Blue is a very dark teal blue that depending on the light can pull almost a black color. However, when viewed in more natural sunlight, the green really pops in this beautiful color.

I used this paint color in my moody teal blue office.

Behr Mountain Pine (PPU12-19)

Mountain Pine is a dark, Caribbean aqua color with turquoise undertones. It is a perfect paint color for a sophisticated home. Pair it with white trim and touches of gold to complete this look. I love that even this is a bold color, it almost feels like a neutral.

Jen Pinkston from The Effortless Chic used it beautifully in her renovated Austin kitchen. I love the white subway tile she paired with it.

Behr Dragonfly (PPU12-03)

Behr Dragonfly is a beautiful blue-green turquoise paint that feels soft, soothing, and calm. It’s Dragonfly name makes me think of soothing summer nights. I used this lovely color in our hallway bathroom on the board and batten wall and then color matched it for the wall paper portion.

Three years later and this color still makes me smile when I walk by!

Behr Ocean Abyss (MQ6-01)

This is a deep, nautical teal for relaxed and sophisticated spaces.  Because teal sits in both the blue and green family, it has associations with nature and warm tropical waters. Deep Abyss is a cool and calming hue, creating an oasis of relaxation perfect for bedroom walls.

Behr Midnight in NY (N440-7)

Rich and moody greenish blue teal color makes this room pop. Behr’s Midnight in NY is a gorgeous deep color that works well with light neutrals and blacks.

Seaside by Fusion Mineral Paint

Tasha from Kaleidoscope Living used this beautiful Seaside color for her kitchen cabinets. Seaside is the perfect deep coastal blue. This shade works beautifully on its own or with neutrals to create the perfect beach side atmosphere.

Seaside is made by Fusion Mineral Paint and I love how when combined with whites and warm wood tones, the blue almost becomes a neutral itself.

This color is a stunning one! Oval Room Blue has a very subtly aged feel. Named after the attractively shaped rooms of the late 18th century, it sits perfectly with popular greys to create depth and balance in either a hall or a darker, cozier family room. 

I love this paint color combined with vintage darker tones woods.

Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue No. 289

This aged blue grey is inspired by the naturally dramatic Scottish skies that act as a backdrop for the classic Georgian Inchyra House. This moody color can read more grey, blue or even green depending on the light, but I think it’s a perfect teal color!
