Every room, each color

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.

Hushed Auburn SW 9080 is a muted red-family colour from Sherwin-Williams with an LRV of 26.38. Livingetc describes it as a dusky pink with red undertones that behaves like a clay-like neutral.
