How to hunt teal
Teal is a hunt for old things and wet things. Copper that has been weathering for decades turns exactly this color, and so does tiled water. Look up at rooftops and church spires, then look down into pools and fountains — the middle of the street rarely has any.
What teal gets confused with
Turquoise is teal with the brightness turned up and a lot more green; if your find sparkles or looks tropical, it is turquoise. Navy and slate both go teal in bad light — check it again in the shade.
