Obstinate Orange

SW 6884

Obstinate Orange (SW 6884) is a vibrant warm orange with pronounced red undertones, registering an LRV of 21. This saturated, high-energy hue reads as a bold terra-cotta-adjacent orange that commands attention on any surface. It works well as an accent wall in dining rooms, kitchens, or creative workspaces where a strong focal point is needed.

For grounding, pair it with Urbane Bronze (SW 7048) or Alabaster (SW 7008). It also coordinates naturally with Cavern Clay (SW 7701), Vintage Vessel (SW 9542), and Icicle (SW 6238) for balanced contrast.
