Which turquoise?

Family bathroom is nearly finished, and I just can’t decide which turquoise the pain the walls above the tiles. Please vote! Or do be honest if you hate both; I can take it.

‘to paint’ not ‘the pain’
Ye gads I really should put my specs on for MNetting these days.

I think the bigger sample looks nicest out of the two.

I love the one on the left, but the one on the right is lovely is you want a bolder statement. I wouldn't actually call either turquoise though, but it's probably the photo.

Agree, the larger sample

The one on the left.

Sorry, my left! Agree, the bigger sample

The colours don’t really come out true to life on here. They are Canton by Little Greene (paler one) and Phantom by Graham & Brown.

The lighter one

Subtle one coming turning out to be the favourite then.

I'm no help. I like the darker one by the sink but the lighter one by the bath.

The bigger one on the left here too.

I like the smaller one. I think imagining it all over, it will look more a bold teal whereas the other one might look more mid green.

left hand one (larger sample)

The other is more teal?

DS and I want the bold one (small, darker sample - Phantom), Dh prefers the lighter one - Canton but is willing to let it go because he got his choice on the floor tiles when I was against them. Dd is violently opposed to Phantom and really has the hump about it.

So it’s good to get some outside views - even if you do nearly all disagree with me!

Yes teal is a better description of it.

The darker, smaller sample.
It’s more contemporary I think.
The lighter turquoise is more “obvious”?

Not explaining very well

And I think the lighter one will be more insipid once all over - I’d get sick of it very quickly

I think the bolder, darker colour would be much better because of the dark shades on the floor and cabinet. I don’t think the lighter one will gel very well with the overall look.

I like both but I think the bluer, smaller sample is very flat in terms or reflecting the light. The room could look very dark. I agree it's a more modern colour but I'd be inclined to go with the teal. I'd probably go for a dark grey personally.

I've just googled the paints by name and I'm with you, OP, the darker one (Phantom) is nicer. Canton is definitely green, where as Phantom is a more vivid teal.

I like the left one, the lighter of the both. I don't like the smaller one in the first picture but I'm 2nd and 3rd it looks slightly a different shade so looks okay

Some very useful feedback from you all, thank you. This is a screen grab of phantom which shows the colour more accurately than my photos.

Interestingly, the pics of Canton on that I’ve found online look a lot darker than it does in the flesh.

The left is a better match, but may be because the lighting?
