Florentine Clay

2003-5B

Florentine Clay is a deep terracotta red with a muted orange base. Overall, it feels artisanal. It suits a dining area, entry niche, or on built-ins where the palette calls for warmth and character.

Use simple neighbors like cream plaster and dark bronze. At room scale, the clay can dominate quickly. Keep adjacent colors quieter and sample beside flooring to avoid a too-red cast.

Florentine Clay 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.
