orange
Facade colors whose dominant hue is orange, including pale peach, dark orange, and predominantly orange mixtures.
The category of orange colors covers all shades whose dominant hue is closer to orange than to any other basic color. It includes light and dark orange hues of any brightness or saturation, as well as mixtures of orange hues with other colors where the overall result is mainly orange.
Peach and mahogany illustrate the light and dark parts of the family. Saturation can also vary.
Red or yellow can contribute to a shade without excluding it when orange remains dominant. The specific shade definitions distinguish these mixtures.
