In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Coat of Arms is a deep, gray-tempered teal — blue enough to anchor a room the way a navy would, green enough to feel alive against wood, brass and raffia. At LRV 14.7 it is a genuinely dark color, and that darkness is where its elegance lives: it recedes, it flatters everything placed against it, and it never looks like a color that is trying.

Sirene is a Portola Roman Clay in what the brand calls 'a calm marine blue'. Because Roman Clay is troweled on rather than brushed, the colour is never flat — it moves between pale sea-blue and deeper slate across a single wall.
