Read from the numbersWindow Pane leans cool where Le Cygne reads warm. Window Pane is a green, Le Cygne a white.
How they read
In their own wordsWindow Pane is a pale, silvery green so light — LRV 72 — that in a bright room it reads as a tinted white. The green is there, but it has faded almost to grey, which is what makes it so easy to live with: it cools a room without ever turning it minty.
Le Cygne — the swan — is a warm, matte ivory from the French house Ressource. It has the chalky, light-absorbing quality of old lime plaster, which is why it looks so at home on Haussmann paneling and ceiling roses: it softens the light rather than bouncing it around. Cream is present, yellow is not.
