Wall paint - Arsenic No. 214

About Arsenic No. 214

Arsenic is a lively mint shade that makes any surface shine, whether it is a piece of furniture, a front door, or a wall. Why not test its use in a 1960s-inspired palette with Nancy's Blushes and All White.

Color impact & light

Arsenic brings nature indoors and can feel fresh, deep, or cozy depending on the light. Due to its high pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
