Hidden Gem is Behr's 2026 Color of the Year, and it earns the title — a deep, smoky jade that gives a room the weight of black without the coldness..
Adirondack Blue is a dusty, blue-leaning slate teal that Behr sells almost everywhere in the store — cabinet-and-trim enamel, exterior masonry paint, even a one-part epoxy for garage floors..
2019 Behr Color of the Year; muted blue that drove the blueprint trend.
Dark Everglade is a blackened blue-green sitting at LRV 8 — deep enough that in anything but direct light it just reads black..
A muted gray-teal at LRV 25, the smoky sea-green shade searched for moody bathrooms, cabinetry, and exterior trim..
A soft spa blue-green at LRV 44, sold widely by Behr though rarely promoted — calming in bathrooms and bedrooms with good light..
Nocturne Blue is a true near-black at LRV 7 — deep enough that in anything less than direct light it reads simply as "dark," not as blue..
A deep teal-blue at 13 LRV with slate depth, one of Behr's common picks for kitchen islands, built-ins and front doors..
A deep grayed teal at 15 LRV, dark enough for a full moody room and gray enough to sit next to wood and brass without shouting..
A deep denim-teal blue at LRV 9, dark and saturated enough for a kitchen island, front door, or a full moody bedroom..
Light to Dark
The whole Behr teal range by depth. LRV is the number to trust — the same teal looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
LRV means Light Reflectance Value. It runs from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white) and tells you how much light a color bounces back. In this teal slice, the numbers go from 3 at the darkest to 91 at the lightest, so the LRV does most of the heavy lifting when you narrow things down.
For a room that already feels dim, stay high, around Azurean (LRV 69) or Spacious Skies (LRV 91), so the wall keeps the space open. If you want drama and the room gets good light, drop low to Peacock Tail (LRV 11) or Myth (LRV 16). Mid-range picks like Patina (LRV 32) and Tahoe Blue (LRV 45) give you real color without swallowing the light.
Behr Teals by Room
Each room page shows teal picks from every US brand side by side — Behr included — so you can compare in context.
Light teals like Spacious Skies and Azurean work well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms where you want calm and clean without going pure white. They also make good ceiling colors when you want a soft wash of color overhead instead of flat white.
The deep teals earn their keep on accent walls, dining rooms, powder rooms, and cabinets, where a small dose of a rich color like Peacock Tail or Blueprint reads as intentional and modern. Mid-tones like Lunar Surface and Patina are the safe all-room choice if you want teal everywhere without committing to dark. For high-traffic spots, lean on Behr's tougher lines so the color holds up to wiping and scuffs.
All 427 Behr teal paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from Behr's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
Behr is sold exclusively at The Home Depot, and every color is mixed to order at the paint counter. You pick the color and the line, and the machine tints a base right there, so any of these 314 teals is available in any finish you need. The lines run from Premium Plus (around $35 a gallon) up through Ultra, Marquee (around $55, one-coat coverage), and Dynasty (around $65, the most stain and scuff resistant). Behr's reputation is the best big-box value, with strong coverage and durability on the premium lines for the price.
If you already love a teal from another brand, you do not have to switch. Any Home Depot counter can color-match a chip or a code, so a teal from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or the featured Kompozit deck can be mixed into a Behr base. Match by LRV first to keep the lightness right, then confirm the undertone in person, since a green-leaning teal and a blue-leaning teal can share a similar LRV but feel different on the wall.

What Behr's Teal Colors Actually Look Like
Behr's teal family runs 314 colors deep, and the range is wider than most people expect from one word. At the light end you get airy, barely-there tints like Spacious Skies (LRV 91) that read almost white with a cool hint. In the middle sit balanced blue-greens like Lunar Surface (LRV 55) and Tahoe Blue (LRV 45) that look clearly teal in daylight. At the dark end you reach rich, saturated colors like Peacock Tail (LRV 11) and Myth (LRV 16) that feel close to ink.
Undertones shift across the slice. Some teals lean green, like Patina (LRV 32), while others lean blue, like Azurean (LRV 69) or Blueprint (LRV 25). Always check a sample in your own room, because the same color can swing greener or bluer depending on your light and the colors next to it.
Pairing Trim, Ceilings, and Coordinating Colors
Teal pairs cleanly with crisp white trim. Behr's Ultra Pure White is the simple default, and warmer whites like Swiss Coffee or Blank Canvas soften the contrast if you want the room to feel cozier rather than sharp. A white ceiling keeps a dark teal like Myth or Peacock Tail from feeling heavy.
For coordinating colors, warm neutrals balance teal well. Even Better Beige or a soft greige gives the eye a place to rest, while a deep charcoal like Cracked Pepper makes a moody, grounded scheme with the darker teals. If you want a two-color teal wall, pair a light one like Azurean with a deep one like Blueprint from the same family so the undertones already agree.
The Questions Everyone Asks
What is the most popular Behr teal paint color?
Hidden Gem (N430-6A) — Hidden Gem is Behr's 2026 Color of the Year, and it earns the title — a deep, smoky jade that gives a room the weight of black without the coldness. Peaceful Blue and Adirondack Blue and Nocturne Blue round out the short list most people choose from.
How many teal colors does Behr offer?
Behr's teal family includes 314 colors across the Premium and Marquee decks. They span from very light tints like Spacious Skies (LRV 91) down to deep, near-ink shades like Peacock Tail (LRV 11), so you can go subtle or dramatic within the same family.
What is the lightest and darkest teal Behr makes?
In this slice the lightest is around Spacious Skies at LRV 91, which reads almost white with a cool hint. The darkest sits near LRV 3, with saturated picks like Peacock Tail (LRV 11) and Myth (LRV 16) giving you the deepest, moodiest teals.
Where can I buy Behr teal paint?
Behr is sold only at The Home Depot. Every color is mixed to order at the paint counter, so any of the 314 teals can be tinted into the line and finish you choose, from Premium Plus up to Dynasty.
Which Behr line should I choose for a teal?
For budget projects, Premium Plus (around $35 a gallon) covers well. Marquee (around $55) offers one-coat coverage, and Dynasty (around $65) is the top line for stain and scuff resistance. For high-traffic rooms or cabinets, step up to Marquee or Dynasty.
What trim color goes with a Behr teal wall?
Crisp white trim like Ultra Pure White is the clean default. If you want a softer, warmer look, pair the teal with Swiss Coffee or Blank Canvas instead, and keep the ceiling white so darker teals like Myth do not feel heavy.
Can I match a teal from another brand to Behr?
Yes. Any Home Depot paint counter can color-match a chip or code from another brand, including Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or the featured Kompozit deck, and mix it into a Behr base. Match by LRV first to keep the lightness right, then confirm the undertone in person before you commit.
