Colour Spotlight: Here’s Why We’re Loving Marine
Updated on January 8, 2024
Marine is a vibrant green that feels as adventurous as a deep-sea voyage; the turquoise and teal undertones of this rich hue give it a luminous, jewel-like quality. Lately, we’re seeing marine used on painted cabinets paired with fanciful wallpaper, ceramic tile and brass accents. If you’re not planning a full redesign, try painting this dramatic shade on a single accent table or adding marine-hued accessories to your table setting — this is a color that always finds a way to stand out.
