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.
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.
