How they read
In their own wordsPixie is a lime wash colour from Portola Paints, which describes it as a "playful, sophisticated peach" and a blend of its El Matador and Potter's Clay colours.
Do not let the name fool you — Spoonful of Sugar is a deep, saturated caramel-terracotta, not a pastel. With an LRV of 21 it is a real color with real weight, and in a high-gloss lacquer it becomes something else entirely: a warm, glowing envelope that turns a library or dining room into a jewel box.
