Read from the numbersBoth read warm. Bride to Be is a pink, Faded Terracotta a orange.
How they read
In their own wordsBride to Be is a whisper of pink folded into a warm off-white. At LRV 71 it is light enough to use as a whole-room neutral, and in most light it reads as a soft, flattering beige — the blush only shows when you put it next to a true white. It is the color of the inside of a shell.
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.
