Forever Teal

P102

Forever Teal is a saturated deep teal with a strong blue-green punch. It is genuinely dark. Use it where contrast is intentional, such as a front door or bar cabinet.

A powder room can handle it with enough lighting. LRV 15 means it will absorb a lot of light, so use sheen and strong lamps if it covers a large surface. Pair with aged metal or pale terrazzo to keep the color from feeling too dense.

Forever Teal in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
