The difference
Read from the numbersSirene leans cool where Costes reads warm. Sirene is a blue, Costes a orange.
How they read
In their own wordsSirene is a Portola Roman Clay in what the brand calls 'a calm marine blue'. Because Roman Clay is troweled on rather than brushed, the colour is never flat — it moves between pale sea-blue and deeper slate across a single wall.
Costes is a Portola Roman Clay — a hand-applied plaster finish rather than a paint — in a dusty rose-terracotta. Because Roman Clay is troweled on, the color is never flat: it moves between pale pink and deep clay across a single wall, and the surface has a soft, suede-like depth that photographs like stone.
