The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Both belong to the orange family.

How they read

In their own words

Georgian Brick is a Historical Colors red-orange that Benjamin Moore describes as 'a rustic blend of red and orange'. It is the colour of weathered brick — warm, a little dusty, and far more livable than a true red.

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.
