Coral Clay

Coral Clay begins as a red color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. It appears in 2020 Heart, 2022 Opus and Dreamer, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
