Spanish term or phrase: color caldera

From a Spanish hotel brochure;
"Las paredes en COLOR CALDERA y los detalles de madera lo hacen muy acogedor."
Warm hues? It seems to be an invention of the writer.

caldera / terra cotta

Explanation:
I know exactly what color it is, because my husband has a shirt he claims is color caldera and it's that orangy-color like flowerpots.

Here is a picture where a floor tile is actually called "caldera," and that's the color.

Another "caldera" ref. to a color name in English:

If "caldera" sounds too odd to you in English, I'd go with terra cotta.

Thanks, everyone. I chose "rustic brown" from the list provided by Cindy.

20 hrs confidence:

russet

Explanation:
It is a kind of brownish red, very difficult to describe but if they meant a terra cotta colour that also exists in Spanish (terracota). I
have heard of "russet" sometimes for that kind of reddish colour and it could be what you are looking for.

The noun russet has one meaning:

Meaning #1: a reddish brown homespun fabric
