Terracotta
Terracotta sits in our High-end Paint range with with a soft warmth that suits low daylight, undertones of orange-clay, and a character that's vivid and sun-baked. It works beautifully with terracotta, brick, hand-thrown ceramics and warm timbers. Most Terracotta installs end up on long corridors and landings or south-facing kitchens that handle warmer light. Properly mid-tone, so it reads consistently from morning to evening. It reads Tuscan in spirit without locking the room into a single period.
