Terracotta bunting

Terracotta is a warm, earthy reddish-brown colour that gets its name from "terra cotta," Italian for "baked earth," referring to the fired clay material. It's a versatile shade blending the enthusiasm of orange with the grounding qualities of brown, often used in design for its rustic, natural appeal. The colour evokes feelings of warmth, security, and tradition, and it pairs well with natural materials like wood and stone, as well as contrasting colours such as deep blues and greens. Characteristics Hue: It is a saturated orange-brown colour, sometimes leaning more towards a deep burnt orange, a warm peach, or even having pink undertones. Origin: The colour is derived from the distinctive colour of fired clay, rich in iron oxide, a natural material used for pottery, sculptures, and building materials for centuries. Feeling: Terracotta is known for its earthy and grounded qualities, while also being warm, cosy, and inviting.
