How they read
In their own wordsDinner Party AF-300 is a deep red from Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection, described as "a deep, understated red that can be used in everyday spaces, as well as those reserved for special occasions". Its LRV is 8.43.
Costes is a Portola Roman Clay — a hand-applied plaster finish rather than a paint — in a dusty rose-terracotta. Because Roman Clay is troweled on, the color is never flat: it moves between pale pink and deep clay across a single wall, and the surface has a soft, suede-like depth that photographs like stone.
