About teal
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.
The deeper end of the family — Hague Blue, peacock, deep emerald-teal — reads almost black in low light and unfolds into a rich blue-green under a lamp. Use teal where you want depth without the weight of a true navy; pair with cream trim and warm wood, avoid cool whites which can make teal read flat.
