Orange Colors
Orange shows up in breakfast rooms, kids spaces, textiles, art, and older wood finishes more often than people expect. The family runs from peachy beige through tangerine and burnt orange, with yellow or red undertones driving the mood.

Using orange in your home
Orange is easiest when you decide whether it should be soft, spicy, or graphic. South light adds warmth, so strong orange can feel hotter there; north light can make peach or tan oranges more useful. Pair it with warm white, navy, moss green, charcoal, or natural wood. Be careful beside honey oak because both surfaces can amplify each other. A muted orange like Solar Nectar is often calmer than a clean tangerine.
Frequently asked questions
Is orange a good kitchen color?
Yes, especially in breakfast nooks, islands, or pantry doors. Full orange walls need careful testing because food, wood, and warm bulbs all intensify it.
What orange paint colors are good?
Sample Benjamin Moore 14 Carrots (LRV 26.21), Sherwin-Williams Maison Blanche (LRV 66), or Behr 24 Karat (LRV 51.9).
Orange vs amber, what is the difference?
Orange is the broader color family. Amber is more golden and yellow leaning.
