Americolor has a terra cotta color if you're able to get some in your area. Here's a color chart for you too. No terra cotta on the chart but rust looks to be close, maybe adjust a drop here or there for lightness or dark depending on what you want.

I just did a flower pot. I used Americolor terra cotta gel, had to use a lot to get this color.

Wilton's Copper color is pretty close - particularly if you use more. I was making basketballs and the Wilton book suggests that Wilton makes a terracotta but they don't sell that color in my craft store - but the copper color worked better than I thought - agree you could add a touch of brown if you want it a little darker.
I agree with the Wilton copper, especially if you don't have time to order Americolor or your local stores don't stock it.
I used Americolor's Terra Cotta color plus some brown and a little red for it to look true terra cotta.
