What color is Dulux Teal Tension?
Dulux Teal Tension 50BG 12/219 is a deep blue-green with a clear teal cast and enough saturation to hold its own on a large wall. Its darker value gives it a cool, grounded appearance, reading richer and more blue-toned in low light while showing its green edge more clearly in brighter daylight. Use it in a study, dining room, or bathroom where a stronger wall color can add definition without appearing black. Teal Tension also suits painted cabinetry or a front door, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and natural stone. For a quieter scheme, pair this shade with soft grey-beige textiles and muted blue-green accents rather than competing bright colors.

Lighter shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect.

LRV of Teal Tension
Teal Tension has an LRV of 8.25% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 8.25%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
