Fancy some orange today?

Today's colour is Orange, which is a less intense colour than red, but no less hot, as it takes its heat from both yellow and red. It also retains that same warm feeling and effect of pulling the walls in. The colour tones of orange range from soft peach right through to coral and terracotta and again helps to create an energising mood. Orange is also regarded as creative and fun loving and is a striking colour that we associate with the sun, ripe peaches, late summer flowers – basically that feel good factor!

Orange - a colour to get you noticed!

Orange is a brilliant colour for brightening dull spaces. It's happy personality favours companionship and even it's lighter tones are stimulating! No wonder it has been chosen as pantone's colour for 2012!

Drawbacks: Might keep the occupant awake at nights in a bedroom. It can also make a room look smaller because of it's advancing colour. Ensure the room gets plenty of light if using this colour!

Til next time!
