Barely Teal

2048-70

Barely Teal is a very light blue-green with balanced undertones that keep it crisp. Its LRV of 81.12 reflects a high amount of light, so it reads pale and airy on walls. Warm light shifts it slightly greener.

It is suitable for bathrooms, bedrooms, or ceilings where a subtle blue-green is desired. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for trim, and add Palladian Blue or Hale Navy for contrast.
