10 Easy Pieces: Architects' Favorite Orange Paint Picks
"Orange is often the outlier in a palette-too bright, too burnt, or too bold. But for the architects and designers we consulted, the shade brings warmth and character without overwhelming a room. Here are 10 of their favorite shades spanning earthenware and salmon to tangerine.

Orange can be an outlier in palettes when it is too bright, too burnt, or too bold. Architects and designers select orange shades that bring warmth and character without overwhelming rooms. Choices range from archived Rufus (455) with a rusty deepness to Farrow & Ball's Dutch Orange finished with Osmo oil for kitchen storage. True Terracotta from Dulux and Faded Terracotta provide deep peach tones for dining and family rooms. The ten favorite shades span earthenware, salmon, and tangerine, applied across offices, kitchens, and East London homes to create glowing, rich interiors.
