The most important facts about the colour orange
The colour takes its name from the juicy fruit of the same name. Orange is a favourite colour for many people. Orange colours always radiate warmth and cheerfulness
Effect of orange colour
Basically, orange is created by mixing red and yellow. If the red pigments predominate, you get a reddish orange; if the yellow pigments predominate, the colour tends more towards yellow, becomes lighter and has more luminosity.
Adding white or beige creates a soft, light and friendly colour shade that can range from peach to a beautiful apricot. Adding brown creates a subtle colour shade with a rusty appearance, while adding black or grey makes the colour shade dark and heavy. Adding a bright red, almost pink, to orange-red creates a coral or flamingo colour shade.
Orange combines the energy of red with the cheerfulness of yellow. Orange can give us emotional strength and manages to dispel sadness and hopelessness. This is because the colour effect of orange is optimistic, it inspires activity and spontaneity and ensures a positive attitude to life overall. The colour stands for extraversion, enthusiasm, a thirst for adventure and self-confidence.
Design rooms with orange
We can also utilise the positive properties of orange in our homes. The summery effect of orange tones can be used to create wonderfully vibrant accents in a room. By using orange as a wall paint, there are numerous ways to fill rooms with energy and joie de vivre. Orange is an ideal colour for dining rooms in particular. It stimulates the appetite and any sociability. This colour enlivens any room, creates an inviting atmosphere and encourages creativity and a zest for life.
When orange tones are toned down with white, grey or beige, a very harmonious room atmosphere is created. The resulting soft tones convey cosiness and elegance as wall paint. The combination of orange tones with plain colours such as Grey, White with White and Black is particularly effective. All neutral tones make orange really shine. The important thing here is to always find the right balance between the different colour shades.
