Coral Orange

Picture the deep red-orange colour of coral. Not a bright orange, but veering towards the browner side of the orange spectrum. This gorgeous colour could be paired with browns of all intensities – from chocolate to mid-brown to taupe, add a touch of turquoise. With greys from charcoal to pale grey. With grey greens and sage greens – think the colour of lichens, succulents. With deep olive greens, lighter olive greens. With touches of black – perhaps white or off-white, coral orange and small touches of black.With multiple shades of the orange spectrum – from shell pink to a spicey brown pink to a pumpkin coloured orange, peach or a mustardy turmeric colour. Cool down with olive or sage green. Try a scheme of coral orange, turmeric ochre, and touches of rich burgundy and olive. Autumn leaves deep coloured berries such as privet, Crataegus (hawthorn), cotoneaster berries, succulents, grey eucalyptus leaves, burgundy coloured leaves of the smoke tree, persimmon fruit on bare branches, striped strappy leaves, twigs, pussy willow branches with their silver furry pods.
