How they read
In their own wordsLe Cygne — the swan — is a warm, matte ivory from the French house Ressource. It has the chalky, light-absorbing quality of old lime plaster, which is why it looks so at home on Haussmann paneling and ceiling roses: it softens the light rather than bouncing it around. Cream is present, yellow is not.
Marlboro Blue is a color in Meoded's Stucco Lamundo range, a lime-based Venetian plaster that is troweled on and burnished to a soft sheen. Meoded publishes no per-color description or digital values for the range.
