Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Sirene leans cool where Georgian Brick reads warm. Sirene is a blue, Georgian Brick a orange.

How they read

In their own words

Sirene 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.

Georgian Brick is a Historical Colors red-orange that Benjamin Moore describes as 'a rustic blend of red and orange'. It is the colour of weathered brick — warm, a little dusty, and far more livable than a true red.
