How they read
In their own wordsTack Room Door is Farrow & Ball No. G6, a colour from the brand's Archive collection. Farrow & Ball describes it as "a weathered mid-brown, evoking years of exposure to the elements," giving "the impression of deep brown woodwork weathered to a more relaxed hue." The brand names Joa's White as its complementary white.
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.
