In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Silver Metallic is a gray, Viridian Odyssey a blue.

How they read

In their own words

Silver Metallic is a Meoded decorative plaster rather than a flat paint — a pewter-toned finish with a pearl sheen that shifts as you move through the room. In daylight it reads as a soft warm grey; at night, with candles and lamps, it glimmers like brushed metal.

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.
