Empress Teal

PPG1142-7

For a cabinet color that feels intentional, Empress Teal brings saturated blue-green depth without the casual sweetness of aqua. White trim clarifies the blue, and tan stone or warm wood reminds the eye that green is still present. Try it on a library wall, an interior door, or a small room that can hold strong color.

Flat walls may feel heavy. Eggshell or satin usually gives this shade better movement.
