How they read
In their own wordsPleat is a deep, grey-softened teal from Little Greene — blue-green with enough grey to feel tailored rather than tropical. It is the color of a copper roof that has weathered for a century, and it is one of the best colors there is for tongue-and-groove panelling.
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.
