What color is Dulux Teal Velvet?

Dulux Teal Velvet 87GG 08/151 is a deep blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and a near-black level of depth in low light. Its close balance of blue and green gives it a clean teal character rather than a leafy or yellowed green appearance. On a large wall, this color can make a bright room feel more grounded, while evening light draws out its inky, shadowed quality. Teal Velvet suits studies, dining rooms, and moody bedrooms, and it has enough presence for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale grey stone, warm oak, aged brass, or brushed nickel for contrast against its dark, crisp tone.
