In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

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.

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.
