1. ORANGE AND PALE GRAY
Pale gray is a wonderful color match for orange, since each will temper the other's intensity and effect. You can use orange as your main color and use touches of gray to cool down the effect, as in the room below, or, our preference, use orange as an accent color for gray.
2. ORANGE AND DARK GRAY
Decorating with gray has been falling out of fashion, with many asking which color is replacing gray post-pandemic. This is, however, because gray is often paired with other neutral room ideas that, while elegant, can feel cold. Which makes orange the perfect antidote, either as an accent or in a space such as a powder room, the perfect choice of principal color.
3. ORANGE AND BLUE
Just like using gray, decorating with blue can leave you with a cool-feeling room, unless you use teal, as suggested above by Emma Deterding. For the same reasons, whether you are using a pale blue, a navy or a very dark blue, orange can bring warmth.
4. ORANGE AND PINK-PEACH
Decorating with pink but want to avoid saccharine? Match it with a orange to keep it contemporary.
5. ORANGE AND SPICE SHADES
Orange is, of course, a great match for other tones of orange and all the colors that sit in the spectrum of spice shades. And while it's brave to use it as the main color in a room, the kitchen above shows that it can look smart and contemporary, assuming the rest of the room is filled with natural colors and textures and little fussy detailing.
6.ORANGE AND GREEN
Decorating with green walls a little safe for you? Why not use orange on the walls and temper the boldness of the shade with green accents? As Emma Deterding says above, decorating with teal and orange works well, but this blue-green shade isn't the only option; other colors that go with orange include softer, apple greens.
7. ORANGE AND BEIGE
Orange and beige are natural partners, with orange one of the best accent colors for beige. It's a more comfortable fit for orange than either cream or white, though it's worth choosing earthier oranges to match with beige than brighter tones.
