AND THE COLOUR OF THE YEAR IS .....

TEAL!!!

The first recorded use of Teal as a color name in English was in 1917 and now it is back to dominate 2014.

Recall my telling you earlier that 2014 IS ALL ABOUT RENAISSANCE... refulgence & reviviscence.

.....that’s right; you first heard it from us.




Teal is a deep blue-green color; a dark cyan. Teal got its name from the colored area around the eyes of the common teal, a member of the duck family.

It is a low-saturated color, a bluish-green to dark medium color, similar to medium blue-green and dark cyan. It can be created by mixing green with blue into a white base, or deepened as needed with a little bit of black or grey color.

The complementary color of teal is coral.

Other colours that combine well with teal include:

• Fuschia
• Bahama Blue
