Colors To Pair With Orange

Colors you can pair with orange are pretty limited. Usually when you play with colors there are very few wrong answer but with orange, there are very few right answers. But when you do it right it’s so stunning and you’re going to love the outcome.

Whether you’re simply pairing items together or going for a color blocking situation, orange is so fun to match.
The best colors for it are blue, yellow, and green. Just about the primaries! Red isn’t a bad option too, but it all depends on the shades. They’re both bright and alarming, which isn’t a bad thing necessarily, but you would need to play with shades as well. Adding bold colors together usually work best when you use a bright warm tone and a bold cool tone, since cool tones are more relaxing to balance out the fiery vibes of orange or red.

Blue is the complimentary color to orange, which in the science of colors, is technically the best match. They are exact opposites, so they make each other pop. This makes them more fun and bold together but gives the cool and warm balance needed to color block.

Warm toned neutrals are also perfect for pairing with orange: cream, white, and brown. They add a fall color palette to the mix, but in the best way. A calm cream cardigan over a bright orange dress is a little bit of a balance that we could all use and might help tone down the outfit if it feels like too much to you. I personally, however, don’t think it’s too much though!

When Is Orange In Season

Orange is a very bright and happy color that is usually associated with the spring and summer months. Any shade will be perfect March through August.

There’s a versatility though, with the color, since it’s a very common color for the fall season as well. We love to decorate for Halloween and Thanksgiving with pumpkins and orange fall leaves, so we can totally carry orange attire into the new season. It’s a great color to bring out for family occasions in November or spooky parties in October. Have fun with it! There are no limits on the color orange.

Except winter. Winter might be the time to give your orange pieces a well-deserved break after all they’ve done spring through fall.

Wearing Orange Accessories

Using orange to make an outfit pop through accessories is a great way to utilize color in your wardrobe without investing in a ton of pieces that may not be as versatile and re-wearable as you would like.

Orange scarfs, whether a winter scarf or silk scarf, are a beautiful addition to your neutral knits or blouses. Since orange just feels like a brighter shade of tan, there are a lot of ways to subtly let orange be a part of your closet!

Earrings, shoes, and handbags are all fun accessories to buy in colors to make your outfits stand out a bit from the rest. If you’re used to buying all neutral pieces, adding an orange accessory or two will make it so much more fun to get dressed! You may only want to break it out for a girls night or for a special occasion, but it’s fun nonetheless to have something a little different to reach for when it’s time to make a pop!

Have fun with your orange accessories!
