How they read
In their own wordsGeorgian Revival Blue SW 7609 is a mid-tone blue from Sherwin-Williams' Timeless Colors collection, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 24, so it is a true colour that holds its own rather than a pale wash.
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.
