Clay
A grounded and dusty warm terracotta
Clay is a dusty, unsaturated terracotta that feels grounded and mellow. This warm, reddish-orange tone works best as a supporting accent rather than a dominant background color, as it can feel heavy in large applications. Pair it with deep charcoal or muted olive greens for a sophisticated palette. The hex code for Clay is #b66a50, which provides enough contrast for readable black text.
