Baked Terra Cotta

1202 / CC-128

Baked Terra Cotta is a warm terra-cotta with orange and brown undertones that keep it grounded. Its LRV of 20.93 places it in a dark mid-range, so it reads strong on walls. Under warm light the brown note becomes more pronounced.

It is suitable for dining rooms, entryways, or accent walls where a saturated orange-brown is needed. Pair it with Golden Straw and Spanish Red for related warmth, and add Hale Navy or Cloud White for contrast.

Baked Terra Cotta in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
