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.
Preference Red No. 297 is a Baroque red that Farrow & Ball calls the deepest and richest of its reds. It is named after Preference Paints, the company's original trade name.
