15 May AUTUMN/WINTER 2019 | ORANGE AND TURQUOISE TONES

Orange and Teal have the highest contrast between values of any pair of complementary colors on the color wheel. By changing from warm to cool, we add depth to this combination of orange, rust, copper, dark teal and turquoise tones.  The mix of blue and green has a sweet feminine feel while the darker teal shades add lively sophistication.

Turquoise alone is linked to emotional balance and serenity, while studies show that the orange color can create physical effects such as a heightened sense of activity, increased socialization, and stimulate mental activity. Orange also helps aid decision making and enhances happiness, confidence, and understanding.

Balance and Serenity

Orange has also been embraced by cultures across the world as one that energizes the spirit while providing pleasure and serenity.  Historically, it is a color that brings peace, harmony and lasting happiness. Native Indians believed that this stone had an ability to ward off evil and offer health.

The Golden Hour

Orange and Teal replicate the golden hour with the warmth of orange light against a blue sky or cool waters.  It is this unique balance that makes this combination it a standout in the color spectrum.
