Aqua

Aqua from Zoffany is a calm blue-green with a softened, watery look. In the 2026 Paint range, it feels contemporary but restrained, with enough colour to register clearly on a wall.

About this colour

This shade sits in the greyed blue-green family, so it reads cool overall, with a slight softness that keeps it from feeling sharp. The #A6BAB9 value gives it a medium-light presence that lifts a room without reflecting light harshly, especially in True Matt or Elite Emulsion. In north-facing rooms it can look cooler and more muted, edging towards a misty aqua; in south-facing light it opens out and shows more of its gentle green side. It works well beside pale oak, weathered timber and painted joinery, and it gives a clear counterpoint to linen, velvet and patterned upholstery in natural tones.

How to use it

Aqua suits sitting rooms, bedrooms and studies where you want colour with some calm. It pairs neatly with white or off-white woodwork, as well as oak, walnut and upholstery in stone, sage, charcoal or faded blue.

On a wall, Aqua reads as a soft blue-green with a quiet, settled feel.

Aqua is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
