How they read
In their own wordsMargaux 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.
Bride to Be is a whisper of pink folded into a warm off-white. At LRV 71 it is light enough to use as a whole-room neutral, and in most light it reads as a soft, flattering beige — the blush only shows when you put it next to a true white. It is the color of the inside of a shell.
