Color can do anything that
black-and-white can.

Right in the middle of red and yellow on the color wheel, ORANGE flirts with the daring side of red and evokes the sunny side of yellow. Orange can change from contemporary and eccentric to happy and jubilant, to quiet and reflective - with just a few tweaks on the color wheel.  It is a GREAT color to add to your room. 

Let's talk about how to do it!

 Warm colors like ORANGE give off an energy and intensity unmatched by their cooler cousins. Use these hues in spaces where you anticipate and want activity, like an active living or family room.

Knowing how a particular shade of orange can impact a room is the key to using this color. When done right, orange can give you a much needed dose of enthusiasm and motivation.

COLORFUL FACTS ABOUT ORANGE

History and Lore
The word orange developed from the Sanskrit word naranga. In the early Christian church, orange was a symbol of glory and fruits of the earth. It was also called the wisdom ray. In education, engineering is represented by orange.


Daily Uses
Orange is used to designate warning and to point out dangerous equipment such as electrical wires and hot pipes. In marketing, orange is used for packaging because it has a "freshness" appeal (e.g., bread wrappers). Oftentimes it is found in cafeterias, because it has been proven to inspire higher sales. If used sparingly in entertainment rooms, it tends to promote congeniality. In a study room, it gives energy and creative motivation


Orange is found in apricots, mangoes, oranges, peaches, carrots, pumpkins, yams, and saffron.

Sienna:  This transitional design has a casual feel thanks to the novelty slub yarn. The sheen from the yarns in the figure adds sophistication and gives this fabric a wonderful hand. Twinkle Twinkle provides a modern, pop of color for a stunning accent.
