About terracotta
Terracotta is the color of unglazed clay pots fired in the sun — earthy, slightly pink, and warmed by iron-rich minerals. The orange base is softened by brown and dusty pink undertones, giving it the patina of old walls in Tuscany and Mexico. LRV runs mid to low.
Use it on plaster-finish walls, in courtyards, and on powder-room walls paired with limewash. It loves cream trim, dark wood beams, and unlacquered brass. Designer alternatives: BM Audubon Russet, SW Cavern Clay, F&B Red Earth.
