Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersPine Frost is the lighter of the two at LRV 65, 58 points above Viridian Odyssey at LRV 7. Both read cool. Viridian Odyssey is a blues, Pine Frost a greens. For a whole room, Pine Frost is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Viridian Odyssey is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsViridian 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.
Pine Frost is a pale, frosted green that reads almost as a tinted white in bright light and as a soft silvery sage in shade. At LRV 65 it is light enough for a whole bedroom yet has enough pigment to feel like a decision. There is no sweetness in it — the grey keeps it cool and quiet.
