Hardy Clay

P010

Hardy Clay is a deep burnt orange-brown with a terra-cotta center. The burnt clay base gives doors and fireplace surrounds real visual weight. The shade works well on an exterior door, fireplace surround, or lower cabinet run where warmth is welcome.

LRV 19 keeps it deep and light-absorbing. On full walls, use plenty of cream or white relief. Black metal gives it structure. Near brick floors, sample carefully so the room does not become one long orange note.

Hardy 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
