More about Vining Ivy
Vining Ivy is PPG's 2023 Color of the Year — a rich blue-green teal at LRV 15 that lands between deep teal and emerald depending on the light. It's a confident, saturated color, best used as a statement: an accent wall, a vanity, built-ins, or a powder room you want to feel jewel-box rich.
As a saturated mid-dark color it amplifies lighting — warmer bulbs deepen it, cool daylight sharpens its green, so sample it where it's going. It pairs beautifully with brass, warm wood, and creamy whites. Behr Myth and Benjamin Moore Fair Isle Blue are its closest cross-brand matches.
