How it reads

Clarté Lunaire — 'moonlight' — is shade MET 08 in Ressource's twelve-colour metallic collection: a pale, silvery finish that catches and returns light like brushed pewter. Berlin designer Gisbert Pöppler used it to give a sitting room a soft, lunar glow.

It is a decorative finish rather than a flat colour, so it reads grey in shadow and near-white where light strikes it. Ressource publishes no digital values; the swatch here is an approximation.

Questions

Is Clarté Lunaire silver or grey?
Both: a pale grey base with a metallic sheen that reads silver in direct light.
Is a metallic paint hard to apply?
It needs an even, considered application — most people have it done professionally.
