How they read
In their own wordsDespite the name, Catalina Blue lives in the soft territory where blue meets green. It is a muted, sea-glass color — grey enough to stay calm, green enough to feel coastal — that shifts between blue and sage depending on the light it's given.
Georgian Brick is a Historical Colors red-orange that Benjamin Moore describes as 'a rustic blend of red and orange'. It is the colour of weathered brick — warm, a little dusty, and far more livable than a true red.
