Farrow & Ball

Red Earth

No. 64

Red Earth is a muted terracotta shade with pink and clay undertones that keep it from reading as overtly orange. Its hex value is #BF7B69 and it has an LRV of 53.4, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance -- bright enough to work on full walls without darkening a room. It sits comfortably alongside other warm, desaturated Farrow & Ball tones such as Joa's White, Oxford Stone, and Setting Plaster, while cooler options like Green Smoke and De Nimes can be used to offset its warmth.

It is well suited for living rooms, hallways, and exteriors with natural stone or brick.

Red Earth 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.
