Farrow & Ball

Terre d' Egypte

No. 247

Terre d'Egypte is a warm, earthy red-brown from Farrow & Ball with a hex value of #A3574D that places it in the muted terracotta range. It carries noticeable orange and brown undertones rather than a clean red. With an LRV of 40.2, it sits in the lower-mid brightness range and absorbs enough light to feel substantial without becoming overly dark.

It works well on feature walls in dining rooms or studies. Joa's White and Lichen provide lighter, complementary pairings, while Red Earth sits in a similar tonal family, and Hague Blue or Brinjal offer stronger contrast.
