Reds can bring drama to a space. It’s a stimulating color that can range from feeling contemporary to traditional to rustic. Touches of red can warm up a space or use it as the main color for a dramatic touch. Red paint on the walls of your room can also make the space feel more intimated and cozy.

Orange can be intimidating, but it can really add a jolt of energy to your space. Using orange in a kitchen can add warmth and stimulates your appetite. Lighter tones of orange, like apricot or peach tones, can be relaxing. While deeper oranges can be bold and cozy.

“Orange has steadily progressed up the ladder of consumer preferences so there’s a greater appreciationof the color,” says color expert Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of the book Colors for Your Every Mood. “Orange is the child of red and yellow. It gives you the excitement of red, but at the same time, the welcoming, friendly, warm aspect of yellow.”
