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 panelling and ceiling roses: it softens the light rather than bouncing it around. Cream is present, yellow is not.
Pink Cloud is the lightest pink in the library — at LRV 80 it is closer to a tinted white than a color, a peach-blush so faint it reads as warmth rather than pink until you see it beside a true white. It is gentle, luminous and impossible to overdo.
