How they read
In their own wordsInventive Orange is a mid-light, clear apricot — a genuine orange rather than a terracotta, with a warm yellow-red base. At LRV 42 it is bright enough to lift a room and saturated enough to read as a deliberate choice.
Margaux is Color Atelier's bold, deep red — a burgundy with the depth of the Bordeaux it is named for. In lime paint the colour is never uniform: it pools darker in the corners and lifts to a dusty rose where the light hits.
