How they read
In their own wordsZen is a colour in Meoded's Concretta FS Microcement Plaster range, a mineral-based, lime- and cement-based plaster that is hand-troweled to a smooth matte finish with subtle movement.
Tranquility 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.
