Malabar Wash on a wall

Colour behaves differently with the light that hits it. The same shade, in three places.

Exterior elevation painted in Malabar Wash — **Exterior elevation**Full sun into dusk, south-facingThe whole envelope in this shade, with white banding and a jaali screen breaking it up so the depth reads as architecture rather than weight.

Living room painted in Malabar Wash — **Living room**Soft indirect daylightCarried across a full interior wall. Against jute, oatmeal upholstery and teak you can judge how the shade behaves with warm furnishings.

Stairwell painted in Malabar Wash — **Stairwell**Shadowed, north lightBoth walls up the stair. Low, indirect light is where a shade shows whether it holds its colour or goes muddy.
