The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Pale Powder No. 204 is Farrow & Ball's most popular shade of aqua, a lighter version of the archived Powder Blue. The brand says it has an unparalleled softness.

Viridian Odyssey is a deep teal that reads almost black until light touches it, and then it reveals an inky blue-green with real depth. At LRV 7 it is one of the darkest colors in the library — a genuine envelope color for panelling, cabinetry and rooms meant to feel like the inside of a jewel box.
