Using Distant Hills (2973) at Home

Distant Hills (2973) is a rich teal shade - a deep tone best kept to a feature wall, not every wall. Its cool undertone pairs best with cool whites and soft greys.

Where Distant Hills Works

  • Accent walls: anchor one wall for drama without overpowering the room.
  • Bathrooms and kitchens: a fresh feel in tiled spaces.
  • Bedroom feature walls: wraps the bed wall in a restful, enveloping calm.
  • Studies and home libraries: a cocooning, focused space for reading and work.
  • Media rooms and home theatres: the depth absorbs stray light and sharpens on-screen contrast.

What to Pair With Distant Hills

Build a whole-home palette around Distant Hills as a feature against lighter walls:

  • Terracotta or coral - a warm contrast accent.
  • Soft grey - a quiet backdrop.
  • Natural wood and rattan - an organic, spa-like feel.

Repeating a pairing across connected spaces ties the home together.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Distant Hills needs good light - it reads rich in well-lit rooms but can look flat in dim ones.

Finish: Matte for the richest, most velvety look; switch to washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and damp areas.

Practical Tips

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since teal tones shift with the light through the day. Expect two coats and a tinted undercoat so the depth comes through evenly.
