Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersSilver Satin is the lighter of the two at LRV 74.9, 67.9 points above Viridian Odyssey at LRV 7. Silver Satin leans warm where Viridian Odyssey reads cool. Silver Satin is a white, Viridian Odyssey a blue. For a whole room, Silver Satin is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Viridian Odyssey is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsSilver Satin is the quiet professional of the off-white world — soft, low-chroma, and just warm enough to never read as stark. In a north-facing room it settles into a calm greige; in afternoon sun it lifts to a clean, milky white without ever turning yellow.
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.
