About orange
Orange is back — not the saturated 1970s shag-carpet orange, but warm earth tones (terracotta, rust, sienna), soft peach and apricot, and the cult-favorite coral and persimmon shades that designers reach for as a softer alternative to red. The family runs from pale peach near-pinks through warm earth oranges to deep rust and burnt-sienna territory.
Use orange like a spice rather than the main course — an accent wall, the kitchen island, the cabinetry, or the front door. Pair with creamy whites, oak, brass, and warm-grounded neutrals; avoid stark white or cool blue trim, which can make orange read garish. LRV under 35 reads as deep rust; 35–60 reads as a clear earth orange or terracotta; above 60 starts to drift toward peach.
