Shades of Teal - How to Build Your Own Unique Teal Color Palette

There is something truly luxurious when it comes to the color teal, many versions of royalty have favored this color for the richness of its beauty, and adorned themselves in lavish silks from all over the world that had been dyed by the pigments that we know to make the color teal. These pigments. Teal is a color that can be described as a combination of blues and greens, similar to that of cyan but is darker. It is compared to the color turquoise. However, turquoise is lighter. There are many shades of teal, which is what we will be addressing in this article. Let us explore some facts about the color teal.

Table of Contents

 

 

The Origin of Teal

The color teal is believed to be named after the markings on a freshwater duck, in the early 20th Century. The color can be found on the duck’s head and wings. Eventually, the Eurasian Teal duck was named after the color we are all familiar with today. The different shades of teal have been popular throughout history. It is the foundation of the Plochere color system and was used by interior designers in the 1950s, which enabled them to incorporate the color teal in more ways than originally imagined.

The Plochere color system includes 1456 colors within its collection. These colors are organized accordingly, similarly to the original color wheel. They are made up of 26 colors that make up the base of the system. All of the colors within the Plochere color system are made by mixing these 26 base colors with a “systematic pigment mixture”.

Teal colors were used on some of the first web pages in 1987, which many of you might remember, but many may not. Either way, Teal has been an iconic color within the marketing industry. Crayola created a crayon named Teal blue from 1990 to 2003, which became a favorite amongst children who loved coloring in anything to do with the ocean. The color teal can be found in different country flags, like Sri Lanka, because of the proud energy that it gives off, and as we have said, royalty across the globe have been huge fans of this color, and nobles would adorn themselves with this color. 

It has represented sports teams, for example, the Charlotte Hornet basketball team, and the Jacksonville Jaguars football team. That is not all! The Miami Dolphins have a variation of the color teal that they wear which is called Aqua, and another variation of teal which is known as midnight green is worn by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Teal is symbolic in different cultures. For the Tibetans, the color teal is a symbol of infinity, the sky, and the sea, which represents the polarity in our world, yet it shows how everything is still connected and related to each other.   For the ancient Egyptians, teal was the color of faith and truth. The nobles in Egyptian culture would paint their faces with the color teal in ceremonious happenstance.

 

The Psychology Behind Teal

Teal has a tranquil and healing effect on individuals. This color strikes a feeling of independence within those who are exposed to it. The psychology of this color, that brings out such individualistic feelings, also makes one feel a sense of reliability. Those who choose to surround themselves with the subtle combination of blue and green (teal) are unlikely to make impulsive, or rash decisions that they might regret later, and they are more reserved in comparison to those who choose more bright and vibrant colors like orange. Teal represents clarity of the mind, your thoughts, and open communication, so you can freely express yourself without any internal confusion.

In some cases, the color implies the tendency to overthink and is associated with pretentiousness. It can stir up feelings of trustworthiness, making it great to use in web design, but using it too much can have the opposite effect, instigating a sense of aloofness and unreliability. Any color that is used in excess will seem overwhelming to the person viewing the artwork, webpage, or room that is painted entirely teal. We advise mixing in some neutral colors that can soothe the intensity of the color. Those who are lucky enough to be unaware, the color teal became a color that cancer survivors would wear.

This beautifully deep color is subtle, yet very noticeable, so it does the job of bringing the awareness of cancer back to the attention of others quite nicely.

 

 

Different Shades of Teal

We can compare the impact of the color teal to that of shallow waters or tropical beaches. The more vibrant light green teal can induce a clear, or invigorating feeling. We can also expect a calmer, more sophisticated feeling from the deeper shades. It is important to understand the theory of color, how it works, and how it impacts us before we look at the shades of teal names.

 

An Overview of Color Theory

On the color wheel, teal falls in between blue and green, and in case you were not aware, it is a tertiary color. When mixing paint to make your color teal, we advise making your perfect green first. We suggest that you start with a primary blue, then mix a primary yellow to create the green we are speaking of. By adding more blue after, you will achieve the color teal. 

You can create different shades of teal by either adding white to lighten and blue or black to darken the tone.

In case you are wondering, complementary colors for any color can be found on the opposing side of the color wheel. So, for example, coral is complementary to teal, with shades of oranges and browns. Monochrome, or analogous, are also terms used to refer to colors close to or next to each other. Ultimately, the coral color, or any other beige shades, are the perfect combinations to use with the color teal, like white, pastel coral, beige or gray.

 

Teal Color Names

These days, there are three models we use to classify color. We refer to (RYB) the basic red, yellow, and blue, predominately used for painting. Red, green, and blue (RGB) are what we see on computers or televisions. And lastly, cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK), which we use to print color documents. We use hex codes for specific colors. A hex code is displayed as a hashtag with the preceding number. Let us look at a color chart for shades of teal. We will see the hex code, as well as other relevant codes.

Turquoise color in the interior | Legko.com

Today we will talk about turquoise color in the interior. This is a difficult, but very beautiful shade at the junction of blue and green. There is a little more blue here, a little more green there, and somewhere at the junction between these natural calm shades, a very beautiful and multifaceted turquoise color is born. He has many names: turquoise, azure, cyan, aqua, aquamarine, moray. All these are different shades of blue-green color, which leaves few people indifferent. It calms, inspires and attracts attention. In interior design, turquoise can also look very stylish if used wisely. Let's see how this can be done.

About turquoise and its color

The turquoise color is named after the stone (from Persian فیروزه - "firuze" - "stone of happiness", or Persian پیروز - piruz - "victorious"). In ancient times, magical properties were attributed to it: it was believed that it protects against accidents and brings happiness. Before our era, when diamonds were not yet known to people, turquoise was considered a precious stone and was used in royal jewelry and royal household items. For example, Nefertiti wore a turquoise ring, and Tutankhamun decorated his treasury with this stone. Among many peoples, turquoise stones are still found in the tombs of high-ranking persons: in Egypt, Persia, India, among the Aztecs and Indians. Turquoise was also considered a symbol of love. Medieval ladies believed that a turquoise talisman would help them charm their chosen one. And lovers exchanged rings with turquoise, and if the stone became cloudy, it was believed that love had passed.

Until now, this stone and its magical color excites the imagination and inspires many jewelers, designers, and artists.

What is the color turquoise associated with? Of course with the sea! Cote d'Azur, sea wave, surf. It calms and energizes. Puts in order the nervous system and gives a sense of harmony. Turquoise combines the calmness of blue and the optimism of green. Psychologists believe that shades of turquoise have a positive effect on the immune system, relax and tune in a positive way.

Turquoise looks very impressive in architecture. They have long been decorated with all kinds of palaces and mosques. Muslims still consider turquoise the color of purity, innocence and happiness. And in modern megacities, skyscrapers made of blue glass give cities a fresh and vibrant look.

What goes with turquoise?

Turquoise is always cool and clean. It goes well with many colors. If you want a bright juicy interior, take a closer look at the cold shades of yellow, red and purple. And remember the golden rule: “60% is the main color; 30% - additional color or shades of the main color; 10% is an accent color." By the way, we have a cool article about bright accents in the interior.

And if you prefer calm colors, combine turquoise with pastel shades: pink, lavender, gray. Muted tones will favorably emphasize all the beauty and elegance of turquoise.

Turquoise living room

Turquoise color in the living room has a friendly atmosphere and can cool the interior. Azure walls and matching furniture look very impressive in large spaces.

For a more modest room size, we recommend focusing on one wall by painting it turquoise. Such accent walls immediately attract attention, so it’s better not to block them with bulky cabinets and mezzanines, but decorate them with light shelves and paintings.

If the living room is multi-functional and turquoise really appeals to you, there is a simple solution. Highlight a particular area (such as the work area) with color and use accessories of a similar shade (such as pillows) in the rest of the space.

An ode to turquoise sofas

Colored sofas are always stylish. The main thing is not to overload the design with a riot of colors. A calm white or muted "background" will allow the turquoise sofa to play the "main party" in your interior.

And here is another calm, seasoned living room interior for a girl from our designer Natalia.

Turquoise bedroom

If we talk about the effect of color on the body and mental state of a person, then the turquoise color is the best suited for decorating a bedroom. It reminds of the sea and the clear sky, relaxes and sets in a calm mood. The combination of white and turquoise in the bedroom gives the interior cleanliness and freshness. What else do you need for good sleep?

Turquoise in the kitchen

Turquoise color will make the kitchen a real treat! It is bright, cheerful and “friends” well with other colors, whether it be shades of natural wood or juicy red.

It is not necessary to design the entire kitchen set in one color. Turquoise elements on a common white background will create coziness and a feeling of freshness even in the smallest kitchen.

Turquoise in the bathroom

Turquoise in the bathroom looks more than appropriate. It is not so important here how many square meters you have and whether it is sunny. Associations with the azure sea and summer holidays justify the use of turquoise in the bathroom by 100%.

If all-out bright turquoise throughout the bathroom confuses you, you can paint only half of the wall in it and use accessories of the same shade.

Turquoise children's room

In the children's room, bright turquoise color will contribute to the harmonious development of the child's personality. After all, it calms and is associated with a clear sky (especially in combination with yellow). Here it is worth remembering that turquoise belongs to cold shades. And in the case of the non-sunny side, it is better to use it in doses.

Blue for boys, pink for girls? No matter how! Turquoise looks good in both cases.

Turquoise decor

Turquoise, as you already understood, perfectly refreshes the interior. If you don’t want to radically change the design of the room, and the heart is given to the turquoise color, you can use different decor elements of your favorite shade. Curtains, pillows, carpets, paintings, dishes - all this will add brightness to any room, but will not overload its interior.

If you have already fallen in love with turquoise and want to use it in your interior design, nothing can stop you! There are a lot of options, ranging from simple decor to a living room in turquoise tones. Our designers will help bring any idea to life. And you can see the portfolio here.

However, you should not stop at just this combination. Diversify your style and combine turquoise with colors such as:

  • Blue. The image will be refined and concise. Perfectly harmonizes with turquoise sapphire, ultramarine and indigo. An interesting combination of blue checkered trousers, a black jacket and turquoise shoes was presented by Stella McCartney.

Any shades of brown will make an excellent pair of turquoise, but gray-brown and light chestnut look the most advantageous.
