The difference
Read from the numbersBoth read cool. Sirene is a blue, Shelter a green.
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.
Shelter is a Portola Lime Wash in a mossy grey-green — and because it is a lime wash, not a paint, the color is cloudy and alive, drifting between pale sage and deep moss across a single wall. The finish is chalky and matte, and it takes light the way stone does.
