Farrow & Ball

Faded Terracotta

No. CC8

Faded Terracotta is a muted, warm tone that sits between orange and pink, with a dusty clay-like undertone. At an LRV of 74.2 it reflects a good amount of light, so it reads as a soft background colour rather than a bold statement. It can work in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a warm neutral with some colour is needed.

The muted saturation keeps it from feeling overly colourful. It coordinates well with Farrow & Ball shades such as School House White, Slipper Satin, Down Pipe, Joa's White, and Setting Plaster.
