The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Both belong to the red family.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Cherry Cola is a deep reddish brown from Dunn-Edwards' Perfect Palette accents — the color of the drink held up to the light, with burnt sienna underneath. At LRV 10 it is dark, saturated and enormously flattering to books, brass and patterned fabric.
