The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Grant Beige is a neutrals, Faded Terracotta a oranges.

How they read

In their own words

Grant Beige balances beige and grey in nearly equal measure — the textbook greige. A slight yellow-gold undertone adds warmth, while the grey content keeps it from ever reading sweet or sandy. It is the safe, sophisticated neutral that anchors a whole-home palette.

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.
