Rust orange and ochre: core colors of the seventies

An interior color study dominated by rust orange and ochre. The characteristic of this color group is medium saturation and low brightness, both with a distinct brownish undertone—not bright orange, but like rust, terracotta, and burnt earth. They appear on large soft furnishings: a rust orange corduroy sofa, ochre brown curtains, and an orange-patterned rug. The walls are a lighter beige-brown, providing a background. Small amounts of dark coffee and cream serve as transitions. Metal is chrome; the cool metal prevents the warm colors from becoming cloying. The overall temperature is high, like evening sunlight. Avoid: using bright, saturated orange and red, adding cool blues and greens, depicting white walls, making the colors appear clean and crisp.

一個以鏽橘與赭色為主調的室內色彩研究。這組顏色的特徵是彩度中等、明度偏低,而且都帶著明顯的褐色底——不是明亮的橙色,而是像鐵鏽、陶土與燒過的土。它們出現在大面積的軟裝上:一組鏽橘的燈芯絨沙發、赭褐的窗簾、以及一張帶橘的圖案地毯。牆面是比它們更淺的米褐色,提供背景。少量的深咖啡與奶油作為過渡。金屬是鍍鉻,冷色的金屬讓暖色不至於過於膩。整體的溫度很高,像傍晚的陽光。避免:使用明亮飽和的橙色與紅色、加入冷色調的藍與綠、把牆面畫成白色、讓顏色顯得乾淨清爽。
