Benjamin Moore

Terra Cotta Tile

2090-30

Terra Cotta Tile is a bold, earthy red from Benjamin Moore with clearly defined brown and orange undertones that pull it toward a natural clay tone rather than a primary red. Its LRV of 14.14 places it on the darker end of the spectrum, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a heavy, saturated hue on walls. The brownish-red base stays consistent across lighting types but can appear slightly more orange in warm light.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, Chestertown Buff, and Sparrow for contrast or tonal coordination.
