The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Both belong to the orange family.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Coral Spice 2170-40 is a mid-tone coral from Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection, which the brand describes as "a vivacious shade of coral with a feel-good vibe". Its LRV is 43.46.
