Read from the numbersBoth read warm. Jacket is a gray, Southwest Pottery a red.
How they read
In their own wordsJacket is a Portola Roman Clay in a deep charcoal-brown — a black with the hardness taken out. Because Roman Clay is troweled on, the surface is never uniform: it shifts between soot and warm ash across a wall, with a soft, suede-like depth that no flat paint can match.
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.
