In real rooms

All things color, in your inbox.
Paint colors worth knowing, the rooms they live in, and where color is going — in design, fashion, and beyond. Free, and only when we have something to say.
How it reads
Shelter is a Portola Lime Wash in a mossy grey-green — and because it is a lime wash, not a paint, the color is cloudy and alive, drifting between pale sage and deep moss across a single wall. The finish is chalky and matte, and it takes light the way stone does.
In a bedroom with a terracotta-colored bed and warm wood it feels like sleeping in a garden. The hex here is an approximation — Portola publishes no digital value and the result depends on the brush and the hand — so sample it on the wall you mean to use.
