What shades of orange are there?
Like all colour shades, orange comes in different shades and gradations. It starts with an intense orange and goes all the way to a soft apricot, which is hardly perceived as a colour in its own right. The term burnt orange is used to describe dark shades of orange that are somewhere between light brown and orange due to brown pigments.
What shades are there?
The most intense orange, which we encounter in road traffic as a signal and warning colour, can also be used as a highlight in interior design.
There are also warm shades of orange that remind us of summer and an orange grove. These include Orange with Tangerine and Orange with Goldfish from MissPompadour.
Orange can also be found in the category of warm spicy shades. Here, red and brown pigment is mixed with orange, resulting in particularly warm and pleasant colour shades. These includeOrange with Chestnut from MissPompadour and from Painting the Past Flowerpot.
If a strong orange is too intense for you, you can also use orange pastel shades such as Beige with Peach from MissPompadour or LittlePomp Apricot & Cheerful.

Which colours go well with orange?
Orange is created by combining red, which stands for energy, with yellow, which stands for cheerfulness. This is why orange is a wonderful contrast to dark, strong colour shades. The combination with deep midnight blue, such as Blue with Midnight from MissPompadour or Ink from Painting the Past, is particularly spectacular. A calm green such as Green with Olive can also form a very harmonious combination with a delicate orange such as Orange with Salmon
Of course, all brown and earth tonescomplement orange in a particularly beautiful way, as we already knew in the 70s. Brown with Black by MissPompadour gives a strong orange such as Orange with Tangerine a background against which the strong orange can shine without being overpowering.
Don't neglect the option of combiningorange with neutral tones such as white or grey. A grey of medium colour intensity, such as the Grey with Black from MissPompadour, creates an atmospheric combination with a soft orange tone such as Orange with Salmon. Warm white, such as White with Melting from MissPompadour, goes well with all shades of orange, while brownish orange shades such as Orange with Chestnut create a Mediterranean ambience.
What can I combine orange with in style?
Depending on the style, natural materials such as rattan, linen or cotton go well with orange. Decorative items made of ceramic or with a metallic look can further emphasise the effect. Plants in rich shades of green emphasise the oriental or Mediterranean orientation of your interior. There are no limits to your imagination and creativity with this colour
Especially in a bright living room with lots of plants, orange tones lift the mood, have an inviting effect in a wide variety of shades and create a good atmosphere with their cosy effect.
