Turquoise

Havasu Falls in Arizona

The color turquoise is stunning, vibrant and invigorating. While being refreshing and youthful it can also be a sophisticated color depending on what other colors it is paired with. The color also looks good on most everyone. Since it is the color of fresh water, turquoise is cool and clean. Mixing the pigments of blue and green creates the color turquoise which is also known as blue-green, ultramarine and aquamarine.  A darker shaded version of turquoise is known as teal and a lighter tinted version is known as aqua. Because turquoise is the combination of blue and green, turquoise can have a calming and peaceful affect on your well-being.

Using turquoise with white and black in a space will give the room a retro look of the 1950s or 1960s. Mixing lavender and pink with turquoise in a space will make it more feminine. The combination of apple green and turquoise is a youthful combination.  

Turquoise is often associated as a color of the Southwest and pairs well with its complementary color red-orange, coral and terracotta.

Turquoise is an excellent choice for 2021 as we all are looking to enhance our well-being.  How about an escape to a refreshing tropical turquoise blue beach?
