The difference
Read from the numbersLittle Falls leans cool where Costes reads warm. Little Falls is a blue, Costes a orange.
How they read
In their own wordsLittle Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.
Costes is a Portola Roman Clay — a hand-applied plaster finish rather than a paint — in a dusty rose-terracotta. Because Roman Clay is troweled on, the color is never flat: it moves between pale pink and deep clay across a single wall, and the surface has a soft, suede-like depth that photographs like stone.
