Farrow & Ball

Dutch Orange

No. W76

Dutch Orange by Farrow & Ball is a saturated warm orange with clear yellow undertones that keep it from turning red. It has an LRV of 65.7, which means it reflects a good amount of light and can feel quite strong in full sun. It is best used on feature walls, front doors, or in smaller doses on furniture and trim.

Pointing or Joa's White work as adjacent neutrals to temper its intensity, while Stiffkey Blue offers a cool contrast that sharpens the warmth. Railings can anchor the scheme with a near-black edge.
