The colour teak is a warm, natural shade that is reminiscent of the tropical wood, teak. This shade often has golden brown tones, which can be coloured with darker stripes. Over time, the colour of teak becomes deeper and richer, especially when used outdoors, where it can develop patina tones due to weathering. This colour is unusually durable, as it resists the damaging effects of sunlight and moisture, making it an excellent choice for furniture and floors.
In decorative use, the colour teak often emphasises naturalness and sophistication. It lends an elegant and warm interior and can be easily combined with other natural colours such as Green, the cream or the grey. The teak colour looks particularly good in modern and classic designs, highlighting furniture and accessories made of quality materials. The combination of the texture of the wood and the warmth of the teak colour creates a homely and harmonious environment.

what is the colour of teak?
Teak is a rich, deep golden brown colour that often darkens with age. This colour comes from the natural appearance of teak, which is often used in furniture and flooring.
What determines the colour of teak?
The colour of teak wood can be affected by several factors. First and foremost, the natural oil content of the wood and the pigments it contains give teak its characteristic colour, which can range from light golden brown to darker, deeper brown. As the wood ages, the colours may darken and deepen over time. In addition, the colour of teak can be affected by the treatment methods used to work the wood, such as oiling, varnishing or other surface treatments. However, exposure to weathering and UV radiation can also cause changes in the appearance of the wood, creating a greyish patina on the surface over time.
How is teak colour mixing possible?
For teak colour mixing, we usually use a combination of orange, brown and some yellow. The exact proportions depend on the strength and gloss of the shade you want. It is worth experimenting with small amounts and gradually adding colours until the right tone is achieved. When mixing colours, the surface properties of the material should also be taken into account, as the paint may behave differently on different surfaces.
