Black and white: teal with black and white colors work especially well in contemporary design living rooms. Mustard yellow: a darker shade of teal will work great with mustard yellow, especially if you use the two combinations as accent colors. Grey: this neutral tone is a contrasting shade against teal.

Teal is a mixture of green and blue, but the shades can vary from a yellowish blue to a dark slate color. Complementary colors that you could opt to use in your living room include gray, brown, yellow, metallics, and black.
