Tuscan TerracottaDuluxvsBellaJotunΔE 6.5Noticeable difference

Where Tuscan Terracotta belongs to Dulux's range, Bella is a Jotun color. Hue-wise, Tuscan Terracotta belongs to the beige-pink family and Bella to the beige family. Tuscan Terracotta (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Bella (LRV 37), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
