Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Repose Gray is a beige, Le Cygne a white.

How they read

In their own words

Repose Gray (SW 7015) is the gray for people who want gray — not greige — but don't want it cold. A quiet warm undertone keeps it from going icy, while it still reads more gray than beige. LRV sits around 58.

Le Cygne — the swan — is a warm, matte ivory from the French house Ressource. It has the chalky, light-absorbing quality of old lime plaster, which is why it looks so at home on Haussmann paneling and ceiling roses: it softens the light rather than bouncing it around. Cream is present, yellow is not.
