Burnt Teal was introduced as a cornerstone of our Visioning Tool and hospitality focused marketing. It provides a sophisticated, warm alternative to traditional dark neutrals, offering a “dark mode” background that feels curated rather than default. This color bridges the gap between our structural architectural roots and the immersive, sensory nature of our hospitality projects.

Burnt Teal serves as the atmospheric anchor for the firm’s more experiential narratives. While our primary greens represent growth and stability, Burnt Teal introduces a level of depth and warmth that is essential for storytelling in the hospitality sector. It is designed to act as a rich, matte backdrop that allows photography, textiles, and lighting concepts to emerge with high contrast. Its subtle teal undertone ensures it remains in conversation with our primary palette, yet its warmth prevents it from feeling cold or industrial.
In application, Burnt Teal is the preferred choice for immersive digital environments and premium marketing collateral. It functions best in large washes: such as full-bleed background sections or cover pages: where it creates a sense of luxury and quiet focus. When used alongside Brunswick or Hyper Green, it provides a neutral ground that is far more sophisticated than standard charcoal or black. It is an intentional color choice that signals a shift from the technical to the experiential: providing a dark, velvety canvas for the firm’s most vision-forward work.
