Tips for Earth Tone Mediterranean Homes

  1. Earth tones on Mediterranean stucco look most authentic in a flat or matte finish. The texture of hand-troweled stucco combined with a matte earth tone creates depth that glossy finishes lose.
  2. Coordinate your earth tone stucco with the clay tile roof. The stucco should complement, not match. Latte pairs with red-orange tiles, Loggia with brown or mixed tiles.
