One of the most active and energetic colors is orange. It is the color of youth, freshness and positive emotions. In this article, we will consider what colors orange is best combined with.
Such a different orange
Orange is between red and yellow andmay lean towards one side or the other. It may have more yellowish or reddish tones. Remember the colors of carrots and terracotta - they are considered orange, but their tonality is different. Orange contains brown, beige, ocher. Persimmon, orange, apricot, tangerine, pumpkin - all these are shades of orange, so before choosing a color, think about which shade will suit your environment.
What colors does orange go best with?
Oddly enough, orange goes well withwith almost all colors. Orange and dark blue are the perfect combination. Imagine orange corals on a dark blue velvet dress, and you will understand how exquisite an interior in such tones can look. Dark orange combined with blue is another perfect duet. Green and orange are rare in interiors, but in nature - every summer: orange lilies in the green of flower beds look very harmonious. Orange looks very good in black and white interiors. And magnificent - on a gray background. And even next to pink, orange does not fade, but shines even brighter. Therefore, the main question you need to solve when using orange is its proportion in your interior.
How much orange should there be?
For all the wonderful qualities of orange,It also has its drawbacks. Since orange really does make a room warmer — a person feels the temperature in an orange interior to be 2-3 degrees warmer than it actually is — orange has no place in very small spaces, such as a toilet, bathroom, and, for example, a small kitchen. By the way, about the kitchen. Orange causes increased salivation and promotes better digestion — that is why it is so often used in the decoration of fast food cafes: so that a person can eat a lot in a short time. Therefore, if you are watching your figure, do not make your kitchen orange. And to create a moderate appetite and a positive mood, a basket of tangerines, which should be on the kitchen table for color therapy, will be quite enough.
Walls or accessories
If you love the color orange, it will be greatthe temptation to paint all the walls in it. However, we would advise, given both the positive and negative qualities of orange, to start with its local application: buy a sofa with orange upholstery, orange curtains, orange pillows or lamps - if you feel an "overdose" of orange energy, it will be easier to reduce its flow.
