The Magnificent Peacock Teal
Peacock is the most evocative colour name in textile design — the iridescent, impossibly vivid teal-green of peacock feathers. Glide 90256 Peacock delivers this colour as thread: vivid, slightly green-dominated teal with the specific exotic magnificence of the peacock's plumage. More spectacular than Teal, more green-influenced than Lagoon, Peacock is the most vivid and evocative Glide teal-green for art quilts and jewel-tone designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Peacock differ from standard Teal?
Teal is the balanced blue-green workhorse; Peacock is more saturated and leans further green, with the jewel-bright quality of feather iridescence. On everyday teal solids, Teal blends more quietly; on vivid jewel-tone fabrics and batiks, Peacock matches the intensity that standard Teal cannot reach.
Is Peacock or Persian better for jewel-tone quilts?
They complement each other. Persian holds the deeper, blue-leaning jewel position while Peacock covers the vivid green-leaning teal. Many jewel-palette quilts use both — Persian for depth in shadows and borders, Peacock for the spectacular highlight areas where the teal should shimmer.
What palettes pair naturally with Peacock thread?
Sari-inspired and South Asian palettes with magenta, gold, and violet; batik collections; and modern jewel-tone designs with amethyst and sapphire fabrics. Because Glide's trilobal sheen echoes the light-play of peacock feathers, Peacock thread adds an iridescent quality to dense quilting in these palettes.
