Hex values are display approximations from C2 Paint's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.

Every color here tints in the same full-spectrum deck across C2 LUXE, Studio, LoVo, and Cabinet & Trim, so you can carry a color like Kasbah (C2-573) from a wall onto a trim or cabinet piece without a separate match. C2 sells through independent dealers and c2paint.com; use the store locator to find the nearest stockist since it's not carried at Home Depot, Lowe's, or Menards.

Any paint store can color-match a C2 orange from a chip or code, but full-spectrum formulas built on 16 colorants don't always translate one-to-one into a mass-market mix built on fewer pigments — expect the saturation or undertone to shift slightly on a cross-brand match, and confirm with a sample before painting a whole wall.

Light to Dark

The whole C2 Paint orange range by depth. LRV is the number to trust — the same orange looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.

Light

LRV 55–70 · 4

Mid

LRV 35–55 · 13

Deep

LRV 15–35 · 10

This family spans an unusually wide LRV range, from 20 up to 66, so "orange" here covers both a moody, saturated accent wall and a pale, sunny neutral. On the deep end, Tiger Lily (C2-586, LRV 22) and Chutney (C2-588, LRV 25) hold their saturation and work as a genuine statement color. On the light end, Radiate (C2-560, LRV 54) and Sweet Potato (C2-559, LRV 44) soften into a warm, livable wall color that reads more amber than orange.

Saturated orange is one of the colors where C2's full-spectrum tinting shows most: without a flat-black base muddying the mix, colors like Kasbah (C2-573) hold a clean, rich orange rather than sliding toward brown or gray as the light changes.

The deep, saturated end — Kasbah (C2-573), Bonanza (C2-587), Tiger Lily (C2-586) — works as an accent wall, a front door, or a kitchen with good natural light where the warmth reads as energizing rather than overwhelming. Sunroom, dining room, and kids' spaces are classic fits for a color in this range. The lighter, dustier end — Afterglow (C2-545), Sorbet (C2-528, LRV 47), Cactus Bloom (C2-513) — works as a full-room wall color in a bedroom or living room, where it reads as a warm neutral rather than a bold statement.

Honeycomb (BD69, LRV 36) and Summer Hay (BD66, LRV 46) sit in the middle and pair especially well with wood tones, which makes them a natural fit for a kitchen or dining space with exposed wood cabinetry or flooring.

What C2 Oranges Actually Look Like

C2's orange family runs 27 colors deep, and it's less about traffic-cone orange than warm terracottas, clays, and honeyed golds. Kasbah (C2-573, LRV 31) and Bonanza (C2-587, LRV 25) are the closest to a true burnt orange in the deck, while Cognac (C2-617, LRV 21) and Tortoise (C2-616, LRV 20) sit deeper, closer to leather. On the light end, Afterglow (C2-545, LRV 66) and Cactus Bloom (C2-513, LRV 59) read as soft peach rather than orange at all.

The Barry Dixon collection contributes several colors to this family too, including Pear Preserves (BD72, LRV 57) and Riding Britches (BD64, LRV 58), both leaning toward a warm, dusty apricot rather than a saturated citrus tone.

Pairing C2 Oranges With Other Colors

Warm neutrals and deep blues are the classic complement to this family — a Kasbah (C2-573) accent wall against a navy like Windsor (C2-762) or Kauai (C2-761) reads as a confident, coordinated palette rather than a clash. On trim, a clean white keeps a saturated orange from feeling heavy, while a warm off-white lets the color carry the room without hard contrast.

For a tonal, all-warm scheme, pair the lighter end of this family (Afterglow, Sorbet) with C2's warm pinks like Turkey Wattle (BD52) or golds like Gold Digger (C2-858) for a cohesive sunset palette.

The Questions Everyone Asks

How many orange colors does C2 offer?

27 colors, spanning saturated burnt oranges like Kasbah (C2-573, LRV 31) down through terracottas and clays to pale peaches like Afterglow (C2-545, LRV 66). Several come from the Barry Dixon collection, including Pear Preserves (BD72) and Riding Britches (BD64).

What's the most saturated orange C2 makes?

Kasbah (C2-573, LRV 31) and Bonanza (C2-587, LRV 25) are the deepest, truest burnt oranges in the deck, with Tiger Lily (C2-586, LRV 22) close behind. C2's full-spectrum, 16-colorant tinting is what keeps these saturated instead of sliding toward brown or gray.

Are C2 oranges more terracotta or true orange?

Mostly terracotta, clay, and honeyed gold rather than a bright citrus orange. Cognac (C2-617) and Tortoise (C2-616) lean toward leather-brown, while the Barry Dixon colors like Pear Preserves (BD72) and Summer Hay (BD66) lean dusty apricot. True saturated orange shows up mainly in Kasbah (C2-573) and Bonanza (C2-587).

What rooms work best with a C2 orange?

Deep, saturated shades like Kasbah (C2-573) suit an accent wall, front door, or a well-lit dining room or kitchen. The lighter end — Afterglow (C2-545), Sorbet (C2-528), Cactus Bloom (C2-513) — works as a full-room wall color in a bedroom or living room, reading as a warm neutral rather than a bold orange.

What colors pair well with a C2 orange?

Deep navy blues like Windsor (C2-762) or Kauai (C2-761) give a saturated C2 orange a confident, coordinated contrast. A clean white on trim keeps a bold orange from feeling heavy. For an all-warm palette, pair the lighter end with C2's warm pinks or golds like Gold Digger (C2-858).

Can I color-match a C2 orange at another paint store?

Yes, any paint store can match a C2 orange from its code or a chip. Because C2 tints with up to 16 colorants and no flat-black shortcut, a cross-brand match can shift slightly in saturation or undertone, so test a sample before committing to a full wall.
