Petrol as wall paint: cool and elegant

Colour effect of wall paints in petrol

Petrol is a colour shade that has often been used on walls again in recent years. Petrol tones are intense colour shades that lie between blue and green. Depending on which colour a petrol is more inclined to, it is more likely to be classified as a green or a blue. If petrol is lighter and contains many white pigments, it is more likely to be described as turquoise. By adding grey pigment or small amounts of black, an inherently bright, colour-intensive petrol can be muted. Overall, petrol tones belong to the water or aqua colours.

Petrol wall paints: ideas for all rooms

The colour shade petrol can be used in a variety of ways. Be bold with colour and try it out!

Trend colour petrol in the living room

Petrol is particularly suitable for a living room. You can use it wonderfully as an accent colour on one or two walls. Pictures look particularly good on the rich colour shade of a wall in Green with Teal. This applies to modern art in intense colours as well as pictures in classic gold frames. The effect of wall paints in blue-green tones is particularly expressive if you complement the petrol in the living room with honey-coloured natural wood furniture.

The combination of light, warm wood tones with a wall in the colour petrol is also particularly suited to the current mid-century style. The effect of woods such as teak or rosewood in particular is classy and elegant when combined with a wall in a turquoise-petrol colour.

Noble colour on the wall: petrol in the bedroom

In a bedroom, you tend to look for a calm wall paint that helps you sleep peacefully. Petrol also has a noble and calming effect as a wall paint in the bedroom. It is advisable to choose a shade of petrol that is slightly muted by adding pigment in black. Good tips for the bedroom include combining the colour petrol with colours that enhance a light and friendly atmosphere. If you don't want to create an overly dark mood, combine light colours with your petrol and choose a shade of petrol that contains less blue, such as Green with Glacier.

Oasis of well-being in petrol in the bathroom

Petrol is particularly suitable as a wall paint in the bathroom. Like all water colours, petrol has a relaxing effect and helps you clear your head. With colours in petrol, you can transform a boring bathroom into a luxurious wellness oasis with little effort. Tones such as petrol, which alternate between blue and green, are reminiscent of the sea and tempt you to dream. A lighter petrol such as Green with Ocean with its blue and grey tones brings a holiday mood and relaxation to your walls.

Combine petrol as a wall paint with other colours

Petrol tones can be combined well with all shades of yellow. From a warm, sunny shade of yellow to light sand tones, you will find many colour shades in the MissPompadour Paint collection that give petrol pride of place as a colour but complement it wonderfully. The soft Beige with Sand in particular, but also the soft colour Beige with Cashmere are a good match.

You can also complement intense petrol with light colours in blue and green. For example, the light, friendly Green with South Sea goes well with the dark petrol shade Green with Teal. The delicate, pastel Green with Birch also complements all petrol tones perfectly. Anyone who prefers a colour-intensive, eclectic living style can also combine Green with Apple with petrol.

Of course, white tones such as the friendly White with Sun or the warm, slightly reddish White with Marble go well with petrol as a wall paint. But the soft white tone White with Vanilla also complements all petrol tones well, and you can also complement them interestingly with White with Powder or Beige with Peach.
