Orange Pecan

2003-1B

Orange Pecan is a warm medium orange with a peachy clay undertone. It feels spiced rather than neon. Use it confidently for a cabinet accent or front door when the palette needs heat.

Ivory trim softens the contrast. Dark bronze keeps it grounded. In western light, the orange can glow strongly, so sample it late in the day. A larger board helps.

Orange Pecan in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
