Deep Clay Red

2003-7B

Deep Clay Red is a muted terracotta red with brown depth. The clay base makes it usable. Deep Clay Red suits dining rooms, fireplace walls, and exterior doors where warmth belongs.

Because it is deep, flat paint can push it dusty. Try satin on trim or millwork, with limestone and cream nearby. Judge Deep Clay Red after the primer color has been covered.

Deep Clay Red 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.
