The most important facts about the colours petrol & turquoise
Turquoise and petrol tones are colours that lie between green and blue. Both colours together create a positive balance for the viewer
Effect of colour in petrol & turquoise
Turquoise colours start with very light aqua tones such as a light aquamarine, reminiscent of a mountain lake. They can also be bright green like the sea green of the South Seas. But rich petrol tones, which impress with their dark, intense colour effect and are reminiscent of a dark sea, also belong to the turquoise shades.
Turquoise is the colour of the communication chakra. It stands for clarity of thought and communication. The colour is said to be able to connect the communication channels between the heart and mind. The colour is associated with clarity and openness and helps to reduce inhibitions and facilitate interpersonal communication.
In colour psychology, turquoise is said to have the ability to dampen emotions and provide emotional balance. Thanks to the balance of green and the energy of yellow, turquoise as a mixture of these two colours radiates calm and serenity. At the same time, it is able to inspire our spirit and reduce stress.
Design rooms with petrol or turquoise
Turquoise tones make rooms appear brighter and more open. They create a relaxing atmosphere and stimulate creativity at the same time. The colour is therefore ideal for workspaces where both concentration and inspiration are important. It can also have a slightly cooling effect, which can be a Roller in hot areas or south-facing rooms.
A living room can be stylishly designed with wall paint in turquoise. Here, a single wall painted in a vibrant petrol colour looks very attractive. Works of art from all eras stand out wonderfully against this colour. By combining it with accessories in aquamarine, petrol or other shades of blue-green, you can create an individual living style.
A subtle turquoise colour can also create a calm atmosphere in the children's room. Why not paint furniture such as the cot or a changing table in light turquoise blue? Turquoise is also a colour that eliminates the tiresome decision between pink and sky blue.

Petrol and turquoise are always colour shades in which green and blue are mixed. These colour shades are also known as aqua tones.
The darker colour shades from the aqua tones tend to be referred to as petrol. Another name for this colour family is blue-green or sea green. Petrol comes in many shades. The effect of this colour varies depending on whether the blue or green component predominates. The colour intensity also varies, so you can cover all areas with petrol paint, from pastel shades to a strong accent colour.
Turquoise is the name given to the lighter nuances of aqua tones. They often contain more green and yellow pigments. Examples from the MissPompadour range include Green with Aqua and Green with Turquoise.
In some petrol tones, the blue component predominates so that you perceive the effect more as a greenish blue. These colour shades include Dark Blue with Green from our Just paint Collection. If the proportion of green pigments predominates, the result is a deep, dark water tone such as Green with Teal
Green with Ocean, for example, is tinted with grey and therefore not quite as strong. The luminous Green with Emerald is intense and at the same time lighter in colour.
