All 2 Clare orange paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from Clare's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
Clare is direct-to-consumer, so you buy these at clare.com rather than a store shelf. You can order peel-and-stick swatches to test on your wall first, then paint ships in about one to two days. Walls and trim run $54 per gallon and ceiling or primer runs $42, in zero-VOC, GREENGUARD Gold certified formulas. The paint is mixed to order, so the color you see is made for that batch.
If you already love an orange from another brand, you can usually find a close cousin here, and vice versa, by matching warmth and LRV rather than chasing an exact code. Subrosa's lighter, medium orange lines up with mainstream warm terracotta-leaning oranges, while Fire Sign matches the deeper, spicier oranges in other US decks. The same approach works for cross-matching into the featured Kompozit deck: pick the Kompozit orange whose LRV and undertone sit closest, confirm with a physical swatch under your own light, and treat any code from another brand as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Clare Oranges by Room
Each room page shows orange picks from every US brand side by side — Clare included — so you can compare in context.
Subrosa is the easier everyday choice. Its higher LRV makes it work on full walls in a living room, a warm bedroom, or an entry where you want a friendly glow without going dark. It also handles trim and built-ins if you want a softer accent.
Fire Sign earns its name in smaller, bolder moments. Think a powder room, a dining room you only use at night, an accent wall, or a front door in Subtle Semi-Gloss. Because it is deep, it shows off best where rich color is the point and where you are not fighting for brightness.

Using LRV to Pick the Right One
LRV (light reflectance value) tells you how much light a color bounces back. Higher means lighter and airier; lower means deeper and moodier. In this orange slice the range runs from 25 to 40, which is a fairly tight spread on the darker-to-medium side.
Subrosa sits at the top with an LRV of 40, so it reads as a warm, livable orange that still keeps a room bright. Fire Sign drops to 25, which makes it a true statement color that drinks light and feels intense. If your room gets limited natural light, Subrosa will hold up better; if you want drama in a space you can control with lamps, Fire Sign delivers it.
Clare's Orange Colors at a Glance
Clare keeps its whole deck small on purpose, so the orange family here is just two colors. That is a feature, not a gap. Instead of scrolling past dozens of near-identical swatches, you choose between two well-edited options that span the range.
The two are Subrosa (PNT100-MD-76) and Fire Sign (PNT100-DP-74). Subrosa is the lighter, softer pick. Fire Sign is the deep, saturated one. Between them you can go subtle or bold without leaving the brand.
Pairing With Trim, Ceilings, and Other Colors
Both oranges are warm, so they pair cleanly with creamy whites rather than stark blue-whites. Clare's bestselling Whipped is a safe, warm white for trim and ceilings that lets either orange stay the star. For the ceiling, Clare's flat Ceiling paint in a soft white keeps the warmth from feeling heavy overhead.
For coordinating walls, lean into Clare's greens to balance the heat. Money Moves (a sage) cools a room paired with Subrosa, while Current Mood (a moody green) holds its own next to Fire Sign for a richer, layered look. Keep trim in Subtle Semi-Gloss and walls in Perfect Eggshell so the sheen contrast does some of the work.
The Questions Everyone Asks
How many orange colors does Clare have?
Two: Subrosa (PNT100-MD-76) and Fire Sign (PNT100-DP-74). Clare keeps its full deck to around 55 tightly curated colors, so the orange family is small but covers both a lighter and a deeper option.
Which Clare orange is better for a small or low-light room?
Subrosa, with an LRV of 40, is the lighter of the two and reflects more light, so it keeps a smaller or darker room feeling warmer and brighter. Fire Sign at LRV 25 is much deeper and will read intense, which suits rooms you light with lamps or use mostly at night.
What does LRV mean for these oranges?
LRV is light reflectance value, or how much light a color bounces back. In this slice it runs from 25 (Fire Sign, the darkest) to 40 (Subrosa, the lightest), so a higher number means a softer, airier orange and a lower number means a richer, moodier one.
What trim and ceiling colors go with Clare's oranges?
Both oranges are warm, so a warm white works best. Clare's bestseller Whipped makes a friendly trim and ceiling white, used in Subtle Semi-Gloss for trim and the flat Ceiling formula overhead. Avoid cool blue-whites, which can make warm orange look muddy.
How do I buy these colors, and are they mixed to order?
Clare is direct-to-consumer, so you order at clare.com. You can ship peel-and-stick swatches to test first, then paint arrives in about one to two days. Each gallon is mixed to order in zero-VOC, GREENGUARD Gold certified paint, at $54 for walls or trim and $42 for ceiling or primer.
Can I match a Clare orange to another brand, including Kompozit?
Yes. Match by undertone and LRV rather than by code: pair Subrosa with another brand's lighter, medium warm orange and Fire Sign with a deeper, spicier one. The same method works for the featured Kompozit deck, but always confirm with a real swatch under your own lighting before you commit.
