Teal is the in-between blue-green that reads moody, marine, or jewel-tone depending on which side of the family you pick. Benjamin Moore named Aegean Teal their 2021 Color of the Year and kicked off a wave of designer rooms in soft, slightly desaturated teals — a quieter alternative to navy that pairs especially well with brass, oak, and warm whites.

About Sherwin-Williams teal paint colors
What Sherwin-Williams Teals Actually Look Like
Sherwin-Williams sorts its ColorSnap deck into a teal family of 120 colors, and they cover a wide range. Some lean blue and cool, like Blue Sky (SW 63) and Rapture Blue (SW 6773). Others sit closer to true blue-green, like Aquitaine (SW 9057), Cloudburst (SW 6487), and the deep, almost forest-leaning Billiard Green (SW 16).
The brand's reputation is built on predictable undertones, and that holds here. A teal that reads soft and watery in the chip stays that way on the wall, so you are less likely to get a surprise green or gray shift once it dries. That makes this family easy to plan around.
How to Choose by Light (LRV)
LRV is how much light a color bounces back, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). This teal slice runs from LRV 4 at the darkest down to 73 at the lightest, so the same family gives you both an airy wall color and a near-black accent. Use the number to predict how dark a color will feel in your room.
For a light, open feel, look at Tame Teal (SW 6757) at LRV 73 or Blue Sky (SW 63) at 58. For something with more presence, Aquitaine (SW 9057) at 38 or Cloudburst (SW 6487) at 26 still hold color without going dark. For a dramatic, saturated look, Great Falls (SW 6495) at 15 or Billiard Green (SW 16) at 9 read deep and rich, best in rooms with good natural light.
Best Rooms and Uses
The lighter teals work well on full walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, where Tame Teal and Blue Sky feel calm without dimming the space. They also make good ceiling colors when you want a soft tint instead of plain white.
The mid-tones like Rapture Blue, Aquitaine, and Cloudburst are strong choices for a single accent wall, a kitchen island, or built-in shelving. The darkest teals, Great Falls and Billiard Green, shine on cabinets, a front door, or a dining room you want to feel cozy and bold. Save those deep shades for spaces with enough light, since they soak up a lot of it.
Pairing With Trim, Ceilings, and Coordinating Colors
Teal pairs cleanly with warm whites and soft neutrals, which is where Sherwin-Williams's famous neutrals come in handy. Alabaster or Accessible Beige on the trim keeps a deep teal like Billiard Green from feeling cold, while a crisp white ceiling brightens a darker wall. Tricorn Black makes a sharp accent for hardware or a door against a lighter teal.
If you want a calmer, tone-on-tone look, layer a light teal wall with a deeper teal from the same family on cabinets or built-ins. Warm woods, brass, and natural materials all sit well against these blue-greens and keep the room from feeling flat.
How Sherwin-Williams Colors Are Sold and Mixed
Every one of these teals is mixed to order. You pick the color and the finish, and the store tints a base for you at a company-owned Sherwin-Williams store or online, so you are buying a real product, not just a swatch. (The HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams line sold at Lowe's is a separate, lower-tier brand, not the same paint.)
The paint lines run good to best: Cashmere (around $55 a gallon), SuperPaint (around $68), Duration (around $75), and Emerald (around $80). Those list prices are mostly for show, because Sherwin-Williams runs 30 to 40 percent sales almost constantly. The simple advice: never pay full price, and wait for a sale before you buy.
Sherwin-Williams teal paint — frequently asked questions
Will these teals look the same as the chip once they're on the wall?+
Mostly, yes. Sherwin-Williams is known for predictable undertones, so a teal that looks watery or blue-green on the chip stays close to that on the wall. Always paint a test patch and look at it in both daylight and lamplight before you commit, since room lighting still affects how any color reads.
Which Sherwin-Williams teal is best for a small or dark room?+
Go with a lighter LRV. Tame Teal (SW 6757) at LRV 73 or Blue Sky (SW 63) at 58 bounce back the most light and keep a small space feeling open. Save the deep shades like Great Falls (SW 6495) or Billiard Green (SW 16) for rooms with plenty of natural light.
How do I match a Sherwin-Williams teal to another brand's paint?+
Bring the color name and code, like SW 6757, to any paint store. Most stores, including the featured Kompozit deck, can scan a chip or look up a cross-match and tint their own base to that target. The match is very close but rarely exact, so check a sample before doing a whole room.
Are Sherwin-Williams teals worth the price?+
They can be, especially because the list prices are misleading. Sales of 30 to 40 percent run almost constantly, so a gallon of SuperPaint or Duration often costs far less than the sticker. Wait for one of those sales and the value is strong for the durability and color accuracy you get.
What trim color goes with a deep Sherwin-Williams teal?+
A warm white like Alabaster keeps a deep teal such as Billiard Green from feeling cold and dark. Accessible Beige works too if you want a softer, warmer contrast. For hardware or accents, Tricorn Black adds a sharp, modern edge.
Which paint line should I buy for a teal accent wall?+
For a single accent wall, Cashmere or SuperPaint are plenty. Deep teals can need an extra coat for full color, so a quality line helps. If it's a high-traffic or moisture-prone spot like a bathroom or kitchen, step up to Duration or Emerald for better durability.
