How they read
In their own wordsBlackberry SW 7577 is a very dark plum in Sherwin-Williams' red family, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 4.81.
Faded Terracotta is exactly what the name promises: a clay orange that has been left in the light until the red drained out, leaving a soft, sandy peach. It comes from Farrow & Ball's California Collection, made with Kelly Wearstler, and it carries that West Coast ease — warm, dusty, never brash.
