Full-strength
orange is a brash, bold color that conjures up images of fast
food and advertising. Few dare to use it "as is" in
large quantities, but orange is the source of many more workable
hues, such as tangerine, pumpkin and copper. Lowering the intensity
makes orange more livable; in fact, most browns are dark-value,
low-intensity versions of orange or red-orange. Complementary
orange and blue are often harsh, even when the hues are low-key,
but the addition of other colors softens the contrast: imagine
pale peach, mint, and lilac or deep cinnamon, juniper and violet.
If too much orange can be overpowering, small amounts can make
lively accents - as pillows, candles or art. |
