Blazing Orange

2011-20

Blazing Orange is a deep orange with warm undertones. Its LRV of 21.65 keeps it saturated and mid-dark on walls. It works on accent walls, dining areas, or studios where a strong orange is acceptable.

Hale Navy and Van Deusen Blue give high contrast, while Cedar Key and Suntan Yellow stay within a warm range. Richmond Gold can add a muted companion.
