What color is Farrow and Ball Faded Terracotta?
Farrow and Ball Faded Terracotta CC8 is a light, muted clay tone with a warm peach-beige cast. Its gentle saturation keeps it softer than a traditional burnt terracotta, making it well suited to larger wall areas in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. In bright daylight, this color can read as a pale sun-warmed plaster, while lower light brings out its deeper rosy-tan character. Pair it with chalky whites, warm cream, natural oak, rattan, and linen for a layered, earthy scheme. It also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a painted alcove when paired with darker brown accents or aged brass hardware.

LRV of Faded Terracotta
Faded Terracotta has an LRV of 52.27% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 52.27%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
