#2008 Red Orange

The color tangerine is a bright and unique shade of orange, although it will pair well with a variety of neutral shades and corresponding colors. Tangerine pairs extraordinarily well with light shades, like white, ivory, cream, or light gray. Neutral shades that are light and airy provide a bright contrast to punchy colors like tangerine, uplifting them and creating a balance that is aesthetically pleasing and classically paired. Darker shades, like dark gray or beige, can downplay tangerine’s bright nature and create a balanced contrast of bright and moodier color tones.
