How they read
In their own wordsClarté 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.
Dune White is a versatile off-white with hushed cream undertones and just enough beige-grey to keep it balanced — neither too yellow nor too cool. With an LRV near 82 it keeps a room bright and open, which is why it works so well as a whole-wall color behind bolder furniture and art.
