Color Theory: A Look at Coral and Teal

Coral and teal are a lovely blend of warm and cool which add a bit of cheer to any space. This palette can reflect youthful whimsy or refined sophistication.

These sea inspired colors evoke images of relaxing days at the beach spent watching the waves until sunset. They offer a modern color alternative for coastal retreats or a way to bring that vacation feel into your home every day. (Dining Room: House Beautiful)

I love the feel of this nursery. A contemporary classic. (House of Ruby Interior Design)

Elegant yet comfortable. Style doesn't have to mean fussy. It can be that just right punch of color or a comfortable sofa which invites guests to stay just a little longer! (Elizabeth Home Decor and Design)
