All 132 PPG / Glidden teal paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from PPG / Glidden's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
Every teal here is mixed to order. The store starts with a base paint and adds tint at the machine, so the color exists as a recipe, not a pre-filled can. Glidden and PPG Timeless are stocked at The Home Depot, while PPG Paints and Pittsburgh Paints sell through company stores and independent dealers, across value-to-premium lines like Glidden Essentials, Premium, and Diamond plus PPG Timeless and PPG Diamond. Note that PPG's North American architectural brands moved to The Pittsburgh Paints Company in late 2024, so the labels you see may still be in transition.
Because these are mixed recipes, you are not locked to one retailer. Any decent paint counter can color-match a PPG or Glidden teal into another brand's base, and the reverse works too, including matching into the featured Kompozit deck. Bring the name and code, like Artesian Well (1231-5), and ask for a small sample first, since a match across brands and sheens is close but rarely identical.
Light to Dark
The whole PPG / Glidden 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 measures how much light a color bounces back, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). This teal slice runs from 6 at the darkest to 75 at the lightest, so you have everything from a near-pastel to a deep, dramatic shade. The number is the fastest way to predict how a color will actually feel in a room.
The lighter end, like Pale Seafoam (1233-3) at LRV 75 or Midsummer's Dream (1151-3) at 60, keeps a space airy and works in rooms with limited natural light. Mid-range picks like Colonial Aqua (1148-4) at 48 and Artesian Well (1231-5) at 37 give real color without going dark. Deeper choices such as Bermuda (1150-6) at 17 and Caribbean Holiday (13-28) at 12 turn moody and rich, best saved for spaces that get good light or rooms where you want that enveloping feel.
PPG / Glidden Teals by Room
Each room page shows teal picks from every US brand side by side — PPG / Glidden included — so you can compare in context.
Lighter teals are easy to live with all day, so they suit bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where you want a fresh, calm backdrop. Pale Seafoam and Midsummer's Dream read close to a soft neutral and pair well with white cabinetry or tile. They also hold up in north-facing rooms that can make stronger colors feel flat.
Mid-tones like Yucca (1143-5) at LRV 28 and Safe Harbor (1235-6) at 22 are strong picks for an accent wall, a powder room, or kitchen island cabinets. The darkest teals, Bermuda and Caribbean Holiday, make a confident statement on a front door, a dining room, or built-in shelving where the depth becomes the point.

The Character Of PPG And Glidden Teals
PPG and Glidden share one deck, so a search for teal pulls from both the budget-friendly Glidden lines and the more architectural PPG Paints range. There are 125 teals in this slice, which is a wide net for a color family that sits between blue and green. You get clean coastal aquas, deep ocean tones, and grayed-down teals that read almost as neutrals in the right light.
Undertones run the full spread here. Pale Seafoam (1233-3) is soft and barely-there green-blue, while Caribbean Holiday (13-28) is a saturated, almost tropical teal. Knowing whether a color leans more blue or more green helps you avoid surprises once it is on the wall.
Pairing Teal With Trim, Ceilings, And Coordinating Colors
Teal is happiest against a clean trim, so a soft or bright white on baseboards and casings lets the color stay the star. For ceilings, a plain white keeps lighter teals feeling open, while a deep teal like Bermuda can carry a tinted or matching ceiling for a cocooning look. Warm wood tones and brass hardware also balance the coolness of a teal wall.
For coordinating colors, lean on warm neutrals to keep a teal room from feeling cold. Sandy tans, soft greiges, and creamy whites all sit comfortably beside these blue-greens. If you want contrast instead, a terracotta or warm clay accent across the color wheel makes a teal pop without clashing.
The Questions Everyone Asks
Are PPG and Glidden teal colors the same paint?
They come from the same parent company and share color names and codes across the deck, but they are different product lines. Glidden is the budget-value brand and PPG Paints carries the more architectural reputation. The teal hue can be matched between them, though the paint formula and finish quality differ by line.
Which PPG or Glidden teal is best for a small or dark room?
Reach for the lighter end of the slice. Pale Seafoam (1233-3) at LRV 75 or Midsummer's Dream (1151-3) at LRV 60 reflect more light and keep a small or north-facing room from feeling closed in. Save deep teals like Bermuda (1150-6) for rooms that get plenty of daylight.
What white trim goes with a teal wall?
A clean white is the safest and most flexible choice. It frames the teal without competing and works with both the soft and the deep shades in this range. If your teal leans green, a slightly warmer white keeps the pairing from feeling cold.
Can I get a PPG or Glidden teal mixed at any paint store?
These colors are mixed to order from a base plus tint, so you buy them at the counter rather than off the shelf. Glidden and PPG Timeless are at The Home Depot, while PPG Paints and Pittsburgh sell through company stores and independent dealers. Other stores can also color-match the same teal into their own base.
How do I match a PPG or Glidden teal to another brand like Kompozit?
Bring the exact color name and code, such as Artesian Well (1231-5), to any paint counter and ask them to match it into the brand you want, including the Kompozit deck. The result is very close but rarely a perfect twin across different bases and sheens. Always test a sample before committing to a full room.
What is LRV and why does it matter for these teals?
LRV is light reflectance value, a 0 to 100 scale of how much light a color bounces back. This teal slice runs from 6 to 75, so the number tells you instantly whether a shade will feel airy or deep. Checking the LRV before you buy is the easiest way to avoid a room that turns out darker than you expected.
