The difference
Read from the numbersSirene leans cool where Inventive Orange reads warm. Sirene is a blue, Inventive Orange 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.
Inventive Orange is a mid-light, clear apricot — a genuine orange rather than a terracotta, with a warm yellow-red base. At LRV 42 it is bright enough to lift a room and saturated enough to read as a deliberate choice.
