Read from the numbersPine Frost leans cool where Sweet Tea reads warm. Both belong to the green family.
How they read
In their own wordsPine Frost is a pale, frosted green that reads almost as a tinted white in bright light and as a soft silvery sage in shade. At LRV 65 it is light enough for a whole bedroom yet has enough pigment to feel like a decision. There is no sweetness in it — the grey keeps it cool and quiet.
Sweet Tea is the Portola Paints Lime Wash the designer specifies for this bathroom. Lime wash is a mineral paint rather than a flat coating, so the color sits on the wall with soft, cloudy movement and dries lighter than it goes on.
