Lucky Shamrock

PPG1146-6

Lucky Shamrock is a dark teal green with a firmer blue edge than the name suggests. It can give a powder room or bar cabinet feel tailored, especially with blackened metal hardware. Its mid depth still needs contrast at the trim line.

North light may push it cooler and quieter, so add warm bulbs if the room needs more life. Crisp white trim will make the color look cleaner.
