Clare teal paint colors

Clare's teal family is small and edited on purpose. There are eight colors here, and they run from clean, airy blue-greens to deep ink shades that read almost navy in a dim room. Because Clare keeps its whole deck to around 55 colors, you are not wading through dozens of near-identical chips. Every teal in this slice earns its spot.

Undertones split into two camps. The lighter colors like Nairobi Blue and Views lean fresh and breezy, with more blue showing in daylight. The darker ones like Sublime, Nearly Navy, and Deep Dive pull moody and saturated, sitting right on the line between teal and navy. Vacay and Keep It Teal land in the middle, true blue-green that stays recognizable as teal.

LRV is just how much light a color bounces back, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). This teal slice spans LRV 12 at the darkest to 67 at the lightest, so the same family can feel like two different moods. A higher number keeps a room open and soft. A lower number wraps it and adds drama.

If you want teal that still feels light, start with Nairobi Blue at 67 or Views at 58. For a color with presence that does not go fully dark, Vacay (42) and Blue Ivy (32) are the comfortable middle. When you want a rich, enveloping wall, Sublime (14), Nearly Navy (13), and Deep Dive (12) deliver real depth. Anything under about 20 will look noticeably darker in a north-facing or low-light room, so test it on the actual wall before committing.

The lighter teals work as everyday wall colors. Nairobi Blue and Views feel calm in bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, and they hold up in rooms that get good daylight. Vacay and Keep It Teal bring a bit more color without taking over, which suits a laundry room, a powder room, or a kitchen island.

The deep teals are made for impact. Sublime, Nearly Navy, and Deep Dive look great on a single accent wall, on cabinetry, on a built-in bookcase, or on a front door. In a small room with low light, a dark teal can feel cozy and intentional rather than cramped. Clare's Perfect Eggshell is the standard wall finish, while Subtle Semi-Gloss is the pick for doors, trim, and cabinets where you want a little sheen and easier cleanup.

Teal plays well with crisp white trim, which keeps the look clean and modern. Clare's all-time bestseller, Whipped, is a soft white that pairs naturally with almost any teal here and is forgiving in north-facing rooms. For trim and doors, put that white in Subtle Semi-Gloss; for the ceiling, the flat Ceiling finish keeps it quiet overhead.

For coordinating color, teal sits beside warm wood, brass, and natural fibers without effort. If you want a green companion, Clare's Money Moves (sage) or Current Mood (moody green) bridge nicely with the mid and deep teals. Warm neutrals and soft taupes also calm down the saturated darks like Nearly Navy and Deep Dive so a room does not feel too cool.

Clare is direct-to-consumer, so you buy at clare.com rather than at a store shelf. You can order peel-and-stick swatches that ship to your door, then order paint that ships in one to two days once you have picked your teal. Pricing is $54 a gallon for walls or trim and $42 a gallon for ceiling or primer. The paint is zero-VOC and GREENGUARD Gold certified, which matters if you are painting a bedroom or a kid's room.

Every one of these teals is mixed to order from a tint formula, not pulled pre-made off a shelf. That is normal for modern paint. If you ever need to match one of these colors in another brand, or match an existing color into Clare, any paint counter can read the target color and tint to it, and our cross-match tools can line up close equivalents across US brands, including the featured Kompozit deck. Use a physical swatch or a color reading for the final match, since screens shift these blue-greens more than most families.
