China's Blue-Green Color Qing
In the West, there is blue colour and there is green colour. But in China, there is qing (pronounced ‘ching’), which is a shade that’s either blueish-green or greenish-blue, depending on your point of view.
Qing, also known as celadon or "precious green," was a highly prized colour in Chinese ceramics and pottery during the Song Dynasty. The unique combination of blue and green in qing is said to capture the essence of the natural world, from the colour of the sky to the depths of the sea.
Plenty of colours fit this gorgeous mix of blue and green, including teal, turquoise and cerulean colours.
They make great colours for bathrooms, especially smaller spaces that need a little help looking airy and bright. After all, it’s so much easier to imagine yourself floating in a tropical sea when you’re already surrounded by marine-inspired hues.
To create a calming and tranquil atmosphere in the bathroom with qing, opt for accessories and decor inspired by nature, such as seashells, driftwood, and botanical prints. Add a touch of luxury with plush towels and bath mats in soft textures and shades of blue-green.
