Orange and green always work together because they share the commonality of yellow in their make-up. In this room, the stability of the muted green allows the stronger oranges to stand out. The variation of these tones works in harmony due to their inherent warmth. Each hue contains ochre, umber or red oxide, which means the colours relate to each other, translating into a balanced and inviting scheme despite the clear difference in tonal strength. Although orange and green could be thought of as a classic colour scheme, the use of terracotta and high gloss woodwork makes for a more contemporary finish here.
The blend of greens creates depth and dynamism.
