Settled, side by side

Shelter is a Portola Lime Wash in a mossy grey-green — and because it is a lime wash, not a paint, the color is cloudy and alive, drifting between pale sage and deep moss across a single wall. The finish is chalky and matte, and it takes light the way stone does.

Pine 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.
