Why Choose Orange?
Orange is always warm and welcoming, whether your style is modern or traditional, decorative or minimalist. It’s often considered the colour of creativity, so orange colour schemes are perfect for creating an inspiring space.

Our Signature Orange Paint Colours
Here at Farrow & Ball, we have a beautiful array of oranges to choose from. Lively is full of life, rich is thoroughly comforting, and earthy is beautifully grounding.
Every orange in our palette is handcrafted with subtle undertones to create depth, character and complexity.
How to Create an Orange Colour Scheme
Choosing colours is half the joy — and half the challenge — of decorating. With such beautiful orange hues to choose from, it can be tricky to narrow them down.
A simple (but winning) scheme is to pair your chosen orange with its complementary white. This works wonderfully to create a friendly feeling kitchen, especially with an accent colour on a kitchen island.
Another option is creating a tonal scheme, layering several oranges together. This may seem a little bold but, actually, only using orange can soften the overall impact by removing dramatic contrasts. Sometimes, more is less. Our top tip if you’re just stepping into the world of colour: start with a space you don’t spend a lot of time in, like a hallway, utility room or bathroom. These are great places to experiment with bolder designs, as you can simply close the door if you want to.
We’ve asked our experts Joa Studholme and Patrick O’Donnell for three of their favourite orange colour scheme suggestions.
