How they read
In their own wordsMythical SW 6550 is a dusky violet in Sherwin-Williams' purple family, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 19.66.
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.
