Color Psychology: Decorating With Orange

11/28/2012 By lama 2 Comments

Welcome back to Decorating with Color weekly series. If you are new here, you will enjoy my previous posts in this series where I have covered decorating with black, green, violet, and blue. Today, I will be sharing ideas to decorate your home with Orange.

 Orange is a secondary color that results from the mixing of red and yellow. It is a warm color that adds energy to any space.

Color Psychology Of Orange

Energetic, Exciting, Optimistic, Happy, Fun {need I  say more? you get the point}

Warm and inviting

Attracts attention

Encourages conversation

Stimulates the appetite

So, how many harmonious color schemes can we create with orange?

Who do we ask for help when we need to create color schemes? The color wheeeellllll. Its the color wheel, the color wheel, color wheel, its the color wheeeeel!!! { Yes, I am watching too many shows of Dora the Explorer!}

By examining the color wheel, we can derive the following color schemes with Orange. Please note that following the 60-30-10 rule will help you create a balanced color scheme.
