Petrol & Teal Kitchen Cabinets: RAL Codes, Pairings & Design Guide

MARCH 04, 2026  ◆  3 MIN READ
IN SHORT

Petrol/teal is the statement colour for bars and feature runs; RAL 5020 in satin or gloss with brass is the jewel-box formula.

Petrol sits between navy's discipline and green's life — jewel-toned, luxurious, made for gloss moments and brass. The bar-cabinet colour par excellence.

The exact RAL codes to spec

Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for petrol & teal cabinet projects:

RAL 5020Ocean Blue
RAL 5021Water Blue
RAL 6004Blue Green

Every code sprays in super-matte through high gloss; approve the sprayed sample in your room's light before production — sheen shifts colour a half-step.

What to pair it with

Petrol & Teal performs best beside polished brass, smoked glass, dark timber, cream marble. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.

Where it works best

Specify petrol & teal for bars, glazed display runs, powder rooms, feature islands. For dosing strategies — island-only colour, two-tone splits — see the two-tone formulas guide.

Door designs to carry it

The colour reads differently by profile: on our Begonia, Nightingale, Tigris designs it shows its full range from calm to characterful. All are lacquered to order in any code above — browse the gallery for the complete set.

The mistake to avoid

Petrol overwhelms as a whole kitchen — dose it on one bank or the bar and let cream carry the room.
