About satin lagoon
Satin Lagoon is teal — Rust-Oleum's 2026 colour of the year (swatch is an honest sRGB approximation — the official code is authoritative) — a gently muted, cool colour that reads as deep and grounding. As a cool tone it looks most resolved next to warm and neutral partners that add the warmth it lacks, and it needs lighter shades nearby for the value contrast the eye reads as finished. That balance is what makes it feel earthy in a kitchen.
