What Colours Make Orange?
Orange sits between red and yellow on the colour wheel. Ranging from sweet rosy apricots to mellow morning golden rays, orange colour palettes make for stimulating and stylish interior design.Red-toned oranges can be subtle and soothing or more saturated and expressive. Heighten the drama and create a stunning focal point with an accent wall of Fire Dance 2171-20.
Yellow-orange hues can present as citrusy shades, or more warm, golden hues. Eye of the Tiger 188 walls, seen here, create the perfect backdrop for crisp white ceramics and woven textiles. Beautiful and boho, this gilded shade brings a joyful ambience to any space.

Pale Orange: Sweet & Sophisticated
Light orange paint colours are an excellent option for sweeter, more playful styles. Look for pink or red undertones in apricot or peach colours.Add sophistication by grounding peach paint colours with deeper shades like charcoal grays and midnight blues. Peach Parfait 2175-70 and Flint AF-560, seen here, create an inviting environment to hang your coat, take off your shoes, and get comfortable–whether you live here or not!
