Hephaestus presents as a very light, warm orange with balanced undertones and a inviting mood. With an LRV of 83, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Hirshfield's's Hephaestus, a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Cornice is another strong alternative.
