How they read

In their own words

Poe is a Roman Clay colour from Portola Paints, which describes it as a "deep plum". Portola says it was originally named Black Magic and was inspired by the writing of Edgar Allan Poe.

Pixie 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.
