Every now and then we highlight a specific color we’re especially fond of. We’ve talked about everything from Klein Blue, to neon, grey, pink and also the genius combo of grey and pink. Today our love (kind of) goes out to the color of orange!
Different orange
As with all colors, the color itself exists in different scales. And we do love our coral, orangered and darkorange hues! The color is also popular as neon as it’s both intense and popping. The peak of the season for the hue is during the summer months as its both light and a common feature in patterns. As fruit and floral pattern have been popular for a while, orange has a new place in the spotlight due to its common occurrence in nature. Dolce & Gabbana’s spring collection in 2012 featured the popular color through patterns of tomato, chili and flowers! As for the fashion season of SS16, orange is currently in atm (see Prabal Gurung, Stella McCartney and Balmain).
The Color of Orange
As a fashion color, orange has both been rated, hated and beloved. Even though it’s been in and out of fashion for years, the color has still had a hard time finding its place amongst fashionistas favorite. An iconic piece of orange in the history of fashion is Holly Golightly’s orange coat in BaT. Another time the color rose above average was in the 1970’s, and then in combo of brown! A color combo that’s both outdated and often unflattering (we should probably give it some more years before we start to love it again). The unfair history of the color was perhaps underlined when the color got another peak through Orange Is The New Black. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series, we’re talking about jail fashion not a fierce Beyoncé red carpet style.
How to style orange
The color’s RGB value often starts from a red value of 255 (the highest possible value of red).This means that orange is favorable to match with colors such as pink, yellow and red if you want to go bold in the color matching. If you want to match it with a neutral, grey and white are both great colors. As orange is quite intense, it’s goes not often to well with black as they outdo each other with their intensity. The color is also terrific with denim as denim intensify the lovely color of denim.
Such a gorgeous colour and looks great on so many skin tones!

I love the color orange. However, I don’t really have all that many orange fashion pieces. My walls are painted a shade of burnt orange and I love it. There’s just something so peaceful about it. Thanks for sharing this post.
All the best,

Orange is a lovely color for interior too, and burnt oranges sounds like a good one for the walls! Orange as fashion can be a bit too much sometimes, but a lovely accesory in orange is genius! Xx

Orange is one of my fave colours. It was interesting to read your comment on the pairing of orange with black as I’ve recently featured that combo on my blog as here http://www.annasislandstyle.com/2016/05/all-in-black-today.html. Orange is the pefection addition to an outfit to add vibrancy and makes me feel alive.

Orange has always been such a difficult color for me, but this post was really insightful! I’m a bit more curious about orange now.
