Using tangerine in your home

Tangerine works best where motion and daylight are part of the room: breakfast areas, mudrooms, craft rooms, or a bold exterior door. South light can make it very juicy. North light keeps it punchy but more manageable. Pair with white, navy, teal, charcoal, or pale maple. Avoid using it beside busy warm granite, where the orange can pull out every rusty fleck. Crayola Mango Tango is a useful mental reference.
