Behr

Celtic Queen

P430-6A

Celtic Queen is deep emerald-teal with a strong green base, saturated enough for a bar cabinet or front entry. A powder room can handle it with good lighting and pale contrast. Full walls will need light surfaces nearby.

White trim sharpens the green beside the ceiling. Warm wood makes it moodier in evening light. After sunset, it may read as deep teal rather than emerald. The color is dramatic.
