Cheating Heart
Cheating Heart begins as a black color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its neutral temperature leaves room for surrounding materials and light to pull the color warmer or cooler. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
