Terracotta
Rosy-orange bricks
Toulouse is known as La Ville Rose (The Pink City) thanks to its warm brick architecture with subtle rosy undertones. To capture this distinctive palette, I combined Orange with English Red, an earth pigment whose warm hue softens toward pink as it dries, echoing the city’s iconic brick façades.
