In this article, we are going to deep dive into the world of teal! So if you are looking for a comprehensive teal color guide you have come to the right place! And don’t forget to check out our collection of teal color palettes<\/strong><\/a> if you need some inspiration and ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s dive in…<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you enjoy this teal color guide, please pin it! Teal is a rather striking color that falls somewhere between green and blue. It is sometimes described as a medium to dark shade of bluish-green or greenish-blue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal gets its name from the Eurasian teal bird (Anas Crecca)<\/strong> which is found in Europe, Asia, and North America. This beautiful duck has a dark greenish-blue stripe on its head after which the teal color is named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The teal color looks like a mixture of blue and green – think of the ocean on a summer day or bright peacock feathers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what teal looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal Teal is neither blue nor green! And although it has qualities of both colors, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly whether it would be a blue or green color. I would say that teal is its very own unique color!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n But let’s compare the colors. For this example, I won’t use the pure green color (#00FF00) which is very bright, instead, I will use traditional green which is a much more natural shade of green (#008000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what blue and green look like against teal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blue Teal Green Many people use teal and turquoise interchangeably but there are differences between the two colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal is more of a medium to dark greenish-blue color<\/strong> with green undertones<\/strong> that has a much deeper and darker tone<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, turquoise is a lighter and brighter color<\/strong> that tends to have more bluish undertones.<\/strong> It is also a lot lighter and brighter<\/strong> and it has much more of a vibrant colo<\/strong>r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To compare, this is what teal looks like versus turquoise:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal Turquoise Teal is neither green nor aqua<\/strong>. If you place teal alongside green and aqua you will see that it is a much darker and deeper color compared to green and aqua<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aqua is a lot brighter and lighter<\/strong> than teal and it has a very distinct blue color<\/strong> to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Green is also just as bright as aqua<\/strong> and both colors are incredibly vibrant and eye-catching<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal on the other hand is much more of a subtle and subdued color<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what teal, aqua, and green look like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Aqua Teal Pure Green Teal is created when you combine approximately equal amounts of blue and green<\/strong> together and it can range from a light, bright shade all the way to a dark and rich tone depending on how much green<\/strong><\/a> and blue you use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on what teal color you choose, you can use it as your primary base color<\/strong> or as an accent color<\/strong>. And one of the great things about teal is that it works well with many other different colors as well which you will be able to see when we get to the color palettes down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it is! Tertiary colors are created when you combine a primary color with a secondary color. In the case of teal, you would combine the primary color blue<\/a> <\/strong>with the secondary color green<\/a><\/strong>. Other tertiary colors include vermilion, magenta, violet, chartreuse<\/strong><\/a>, and amber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The teal color is found between green and blue<\/strong> on the color wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal is considered to be a cool color<\/strong> because it is created by mixing green and blue together both of which are considered to be cool colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For a quick way to check whether a color is a warm or cool color, simply look at the color wheel. Cool colors are usually found on one half of the wheel<\/strong>. These colors include blue, green, and purple<\/strong>. Warm colors are found on the other half of the wheel and include red, orange, and yellow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PIN FOR LATER…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both hex codes and RGB values are used to display how much red, green, and blue are found within a particular color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n RGB values are displayed in the following format: RGB(RR,GG,BB). From the color codes below you can see that teal contains no red<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like the RGB value, hex codes also specify how much red, green, and blue are within a specific color and are displayed in the following format #RRGGBB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are quite a few different shades of teal<\/strong> that you can choose from. Here are a couple of the more popular teal colors along with their corresponding hex color codes and RGB values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teal Blue Teal Green Dark Teal Aegean Teal<\/strong> (Benjamin Moore) Dark Sea Green<\/strong> Deep Teal Light Teal Turquoise Pale Turquoise Soft Teal Bright Teal Steel Teal<\/strong>
