fire and ice
Isn’t this a great image?
And this is beautiful too…
What do they have in common other than pumpkins?
Colour. The unlikely combination of firey orange and cool blue is something unexpected to the eye…
And quite beautiful.
Orange and turquoise are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, making them perfect compliments.
It got me thinking that orange and turquoise make a fun combination in decorating.
The blue cools the intensity of the orange and the orange lends warmth to the blue.
When I searched for examples, I was shocked to see how easy it was to find the combination at work in many beautiful rooms…
Have a scroll through and see how this unlikely pair can shape a room into something quite extraordinary…
Of course nature has known about this wonderful pairing for quite a while…
But the combination of orange and turquoise is really best when interpreted by humans.

I love orange, and appreciate your rehabilitation of this maligned colour. The images are great.
