How to use Teal in your Next Colour Scheme

Visit the Brewers website

Teal is a blue-green and is a firm favourite for those who want the coolness and depth of blue with the warmth of yellow. Teal is a very versatile colour, allowing you to create a whole range of feelings within a space. Depending on the shade of teal you opt for, you can create a sense of opulence and sophistication, or a lighter shade of teal can feel more invigorating and fun. At Brewers, we have thousands of colours and brands to choose from, all tintable in-store or online.

 Not sure where to start? Here are two palettes to inspire your next project!

1. Teal and Violet:

Using teal and violets together creates a fresh, modern look.

Teal and violet both have blue undertones, which make them work well together, however, violet can overwhelm teal if you’re not careful!

To avoid a clash, we would recommend building your scheme around teal and using shades of violet as an accent colour.

 

Cool Lilac (top left) – A pastel shade of violet

Schooner (middle left) – A light teal encouraging calm into a space

Cote D’Azur (bottom left)– A rich teal for a cocooning feel

Highlands (middle right)– A warm violet

Meghan (bottom right) – A deep shade of violet

 

 

2. Harmonising with Teal:

Using a combination of blue, teal, green and yellow is a great way to create a harmonising look, as these colours sit together on the colour wheel.

Using Garland and Forsythia amongst darker colours will lift the scheme and create balance.

From top to bottom:

Highbrook – A rich, navy blue

Jubillee – A blue worthy of royalty

Cote D’Azur – A rich teal for a cocooning feel

Garland – A refreshing green

Forsythia – A warming, optimistic yellow

Brewers Bedford Supports the Big Trunk Trail

The Big Trunk Trail - Sarah and Acorn

Sarah Harrison, local Bedford artist reached out to Brewers Bedford for the donation of Albany Smooth Masonry paint in a range of colours to support The Big Trunk Trail. Canary, Mariner Blue, Sapling, Spring, Channel Blue, Black, Bronze Gold, Plum, Sky, Blossom and Deep Pink were just some of the colours used in the vibrant piece.

 

The Big Trunk Trail - Paint DonationThe Big Trunk Trail brought together communities and visitors across Luton at their biggest and most unique outdoor public art event. Over 30 giant elephants were decorated and placed in Luton’s key landmarks, streets, and open spaces for people to come and discover.

Wild in Art and Keech Hospice Care were in partnership with Love Luton and others to bring The Big Trunk Trail to Luton between 10th July – 8th October 2021. Sarah Harrison was one of the 30 selected artists commissioned to paint one of the elephant sculptures.

The elephants are made from fibreglass, finished in white primer with outdoor waterproofing varnish. Brewers Bedford were more than happy to supply the rest of the materials required to help Sarah achieve her design.

“Trunks through Changing Seasons” or as he is more affectionately known, “Acorn” was painted between March-May 2021 and adorns a beautifully bright representation of trees throughout the changing seasons.

P1633711“My dream has been to work big, and to work outdoors. It has been so exciting to participate in my first ‘Wild in Art’ project, meeting and learning from other artists, then seeing the public’s reaction and interaction with the elephants has been amazing.

Art has the power to start conversations, spark joy and bring people together.

Public space is the ultimate gallery, accessible to all. With the added magic that passers-by can discover artwork, in streets or parks, unplanned and by chance.”

“The elephant sculptures have played a role in storytelling, community building and place-making, during their parade around Luton this summer.

The trail has combined creativity and walking, two great ingredients for wellbeing – with the timing particularly meaningful, whilst coming out of lockdown.”

“Thank you, Brewers, for your beautiful vibrant Albany masonry paints. They were such a treat to use, and people have commented on how lovely the colours are.” Sarah Harrison, Artist, Sarah Harrison Illustration.

P1644275All of the elephants are a part of a ticketed farewell event at Stockwood Discovery Centre this week (30 October – 7 November) before The Big Trunk Trial Charity Auction on 11th November. The 34 adult elephants will retire to their new homes, raising funs for Keech Hospice Care.

Getting Buzzy at Brewers!

In the months of July and August, Brewers Decorator Centres is adopting a bee for every litre of Albany paint purchased – which they anticipate could reach over 500,000 honeybees! To fulfil their pledge, Brewers are working closely with Gruffydd Rees from Gwenyn Gruffydd, a bee specialist based in the picturesque Carmarthen, South Wales.

Bees (3) copyThe idea behind the adoption plan is to give a helping hand in reducing the decline of these vital pollinators. In preparation, a number of beehives have been set up and will be well looked after by Gruffydd Rees, a beekeeper with over 10 years’ experience and member of the Welsh Beekeepers Association and DASH accredited by the Governments Bee Unit. In addition to the adoption, they are planting bee friendly trees in community spaces in South Wales to provide a valuable food source for bees and other pollinators in the local area.
