What Colors Make Teal?
Teal is made by mixing blue and green, about two parts blue to one part green, then a touch of black for depth. More green moves it toward turquoise; a little white lightens it toward aquamarine.

teal + a touch of red

Depending on your supplies
Colored pencils
With pencils, you don’t mix: you layer. Lay down the lightest shade in light strokes, then the darker one on top, without pressing. To lighten teal, finish with a white pencil; to darken it, add a touch of grey or of its opposite color.
Markers
Water-based markers don’t blend well: pick the right shade straight away. With alcohol markers, go over a darker shade with a lighter one while it is still wet to soften the transition.
Watercolor
Mix on the palette, not on the paper. For a lighter shade, add water rather than white: the white of the paper does the lightening.
Paint
Acrylic or gouache: always add the dark color to the light one, a little at a time. Write down the amounts so you can find your shade again.
