Kitchen Terra Cotta

2003-7C

Kitchen Terra Cotta is a muted clay red with a soft orange-brown base. It feels earthy, not fiery. A kitchen island, mudroom wall, or powder room can keep the warmth grounded.

LRV 28 means it is deeper than many terra-cotta chips look in store light. Pair with limestone, cream trim, or blackened bronze. Avoid glossy red accents nearby.
