Osage Orange

SW 6890

Osage Orange (SW 6890) is a vibrant warm orange with an LRV of 45. This mid-reflectance orange carries enough brightness to read as a distinct, saturated hue while its moderate depth prevents it from overwhelming a space entirely. It works well as an accent wall color in kitchens, playrooms, or creative workspaces, and performs effectively on front doors and exterior trim.

Pair it with Pure White (SW 7005) or Alabaster (SW 7008) for contrast. It coordinates with Amber Wave (SW 6657), Bakelite Gold (SW 6368), Cardboard (SW 6124), and Naval (SW 6244) for a warm-cool balance.
