Color Spotlight – Appealing Orange
August 2, 2023
A blazing fire on a cold winter’s night, the bloom of a flower in the early spring, a descending sunset during the dog days of summer, or one of the bright colors the leaves display each autumn in New England – orange is such a fun, changeable, and unique color. In fact, orange is such an appealing color that it is found in nature during every season of the year bringing us warmth and vibrancy.
This month we are spotlighting some of our favorite orange hues from the soft flattering peachy shades to the deep earthy shades that make up the orange color family. This color family is great for energizing a space or conversely softening a space that feels cold or empty.
