Spotswood Teal

CW-545

Spotswood Teal is a mid-depth teal with an LRV of 28.06, giving it enough density to serve as a strong wall color without fully darkening a space. Its composition blends blue and green in relatively even proportion, with a cool overall temperature that leans slightly toward green in natural light. The color has historical roots in Prussian blue and yellow ochre pigments, which contribute to its slightly muted, non-synthetic appearance.

Simply White and Gray Owl pair cleanly as lighter neutrals, Kendall Charcoal deepens the scheme, and Wythe Blue or Georgian Green offer analogous teal-family transitions.
