How they read
In their own wordsTranquility is a pale grey from Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection with a soft green-blue whisper — the color of sea fog rather than a city sky. At LRV 53 it is a true light-mid tone, and it does exactly what its name suggests: it calms a room without making it cold.
Pleat is a deep, grey-softened teal from Little Greene — blue-green with enough grey to feel tailored rather than tropical. It is the color of a copper roof that has weathered for a century, and it is one of the best colors there is for tongue-and-groove panelling.
