1. #ffd5d1

   

   Pink Clay Color

   Pink kaolin clay, the kind sold for face masks, has this soft peachy blush. Pink Clay color (#ffd5d1) keeps red maxed at 255 with green and blue close together, so it’s a warm pastel pink leaning slightly toward salmon. Morning sun makes it look like the inside of a seashell.

2. #af604d

   

   Clay Red Color

   Clay Red color matches a fired roof tile in Tuscany. Set it beside Artisan Red (#ac5b50) and you’ll catch a touch more orange, a gap small enough that designers swap the two on a mood board without a second thought.

3. #6b9194

   

   Blue Clay Color

   Blue Clay is a muted teal-grey with the chalky matte of a potter’s damp clay before firing. It reads earthy and elemental, more mineral than sky. The Blue Clay color makes a grounding, artisanal wall.

4. #fedfdc

   

   Light Pink Clay Color

   French pink clay powder, the kind sold for face masks, has this barely-there blush. Light Pink Clay color is warm and almost white, and in a bright room it passes for a flattering off-white that never turns stark.

5. #8f4b41

   

   Red Clay Color

   Georgia’s red clay gets its color from iron oxide, the same chemistry as rust. Red Clay color (#8f4b41) is that dirt after a rainstorm, a dark rust-brown with red in it. Anyone who’s walked a Georgia back road knows it never fully washes out of sneakers.

6. #e8e1d3

   

   White Clay Color

   White Clay is a warm off-white with a soft sandy-beige undertone, like air-dried potter’s clay before firing. It’s earthy and calm. The White Clay color gives a room a grounded, natural warmth.

7. #889988

   

   Green Clay Color

   Damp earth on a potter’s wheel, still grey-green before the kiln. Green Clay color sits almost exactly between sage and slate. Ceramic studios and natural cosmetics packaging both use it.
