  • Terracotta or coral - a warm contrast accent.
  • Warm white and sand - balances the cool tone.

Repeating a pairing across connected spaces ties the home together.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Balsam reads cool in daylight and warms a little under lamps.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since teal tones shift with the light through the day. A colour-tinted undercoat helps this mid-tone reach full depth in fewer coats.
