How they read
In their own wordsFaded 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.
Southwest Pottery 048 is a deep clay red from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection, described by the brand as "a nuanced hue that captures the brown and red tones of kiln-fired clay". Its LRV is 16.56, so it is a properly deep colour.
