How they read
In their own wordsLittle Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.
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.
