What Colors Go With Orange?

From tangerine to terracotta, orange comes in an array of mood-boosting shades, and incorporating them into your space may not be as tough as you think. We've rounded up our favorite color combos and design ideas to show you how to add a pop of orange to any room.

Modern charcoal siding gets a hit of happy with orange accents. A coral-tinted hue, like this one, keeps this combo from veering into Halloween territory.

Complementary colors are a match made in heaven — or the color wheel. This no-fail combo of orange and blue can work in any space, but we love how true orange and shades of blue work together in a kid's room.

If orange and blue are a great pair, you can bet that adding each of their adjacent colors on the color wheel (yellow and light blue) into the mix will create another cool combo. In this cheerful bedroom, the pretty palette is clearly mapped out on the panels of the closet door — genius!

Speaking of adjacent colors, orange and yellow are the ultimate happy pairing. If it's a bright and joyful look you're after, this combo is for you.

So groovy! This '70s-inspired color combo gets an update thanks to large-scale floral wallpaper. A sleek marble vanity and no window treatments keep this design firmly anchored in the 21st century.

Another take on the complementary orange and blue scheme: fiery orange and lightened-up aqua. In a room with bright orange accents, a bold metallic coffee table and lots of pattern play, matching the sofa upholstery to the wall color creates a quiet backdrop.

Okay, white might not be the most mindblowing choice to use with orange, but this crisp and clean combo deserves a mention. Orange gets to be the star in this scheme, while white provides a calming, neutral foil for the eye. We especially love warm wood tones in the mix with these two colors to ground the space.

For a sweet spin, try mixing orange and shades of pink. This duo has a feminine edge, but it's not reserved for a teen girl's bedroom. Whether it's styled with a blushy hue or bold magenta, orange and pink have the power to warm up any space.

We love this unlikely coupling! Both bold and bright in their own right, teal and orange share the spotlight with ease. In this chic, midcentury-inspired dining room, orange covers more surface area, but the pops of teal don't take a backseat. They balance each other to create a standout space.

Try this take on a scaled-back rainbow with a mix of muted orange, pink, yellow and blue. Black paint on the treads gives the stairway a dash of edgy style.

If you're curious which metal finish to use with orange paint or decor, shades of gold and brass are the way to go. These metallics play off the inherent warmth of orange to give any room a welcoming (and glamorous) glow.

This may be the most unexpected pair on our list, but with the right shade selection, orange and green can be an eye-catching combination. Here, reddish-orange wallpaper (with pale pink flowers) looks right at home with a grass green console.

If earthtones and muted colors are more your style, mixing terracotta and sage green might be the color combo for you. Together, these two hues create a relaxing space with plenty of personality.
