How they read
In their own wordsPink Cloud is the lightest pink in the library — at LRV 80 it is closer to a tinted white than a color, a peach-blush so faint it reads as warmth rather than pink until you see it beside a true white. It is gentle, luminous and impossible to overdo.
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.
