Orange is considered a warm and cheerful color, often associated with feelings of happiness and enthusiasm. In home decor, orange can be used as an accent color to add energy and excitement to a room, or as a dominant color to create a bold and playful atmosphere.
Making orange colour with two colour combination
Orange is believed to stimulate creativity and enhance mental agility, making it a popular choice for home offices and playrooms. Orange colour can be made by mixing red and yellow pigments or by adjusting the intensity of red and yellow.
Here's how you can make orange color with two colour combination:
-
Squeeze a small amount of red and yellow paint onto a palette or plate.
-
Mix the two colours together until they are fully combined and form a uniform orange colour.
-
Experiment with different proportions of red and yellow to create different shades of orange.
Creating Cool and Warmer Orange Colours
To create cool and warm variations of orange color, you can adjust the hue balance towards either the blue or yellow side. Adjusting the hue towards the blue side creates a cool orange, while increasing the yellow hue makes it warmer.
-
For a cool orange, add a small amount of blue to the base orange hue.
-
For a warm orange, add a touch of yellow to the base hue.
You can adjust the saturation and brightness to taste. Orange plays a significant role in creating the look you desire, even though you may not be aware of it. You won't most likely be using the familiar orange colour, which is just red and yellow combined. You may instead be using shades of orange like peach, tangerine and coral, which are made up of a blend of red, yellow and white.
