The vibrant palette of teal/blue and red/orange multicolored palette with hints of lime and the palest blue speaks to a soothing yet lively sensibility.
When I stumbled upon this post by The Happy Heathen, the richness and vibrancy of the colors stood out to me. Then to see it was called “Delve into 2012” I started to question my sense of style. However, based on the popularity of this graphic on Pinterest, it seems that this colored palette is more enduring and just as interesting as time goes by. I’ll explore a few ways to bring this into your decor. If you’re ready for the big plunge and looking to paint your room, an accent wall or cabinets one of these rich blue/teal colors, you’re in luck – Â I’ll share a few recommendations.

Paint Colors
My two favorite paints are the products that combine paint and primer from Sherwin Williams and Behr. I’ve had great luck in getting coverage in drastic color changes in one coat plus touch ups. However, if you are going to such a rich color like these rooms, you might need two coats. When I painted on of our vanities a lovely peacock color from Sherwin Williams (Blue Peacock SW 0064), it did require two coats to completely cover the grain, nooks and crannies.
Here are a few additional paint ideas for products I have not personally used but that are in this color schema:
- Caribe (PPU13-1) by Behr
- Venezuelan Sea (2054-30) by Benjamin Moore (this is the color in the inspirational photo with the teal couch, yellow chair and butterfly artwork
- Dark Harbor (CSP-720) by Benjamin Moore
