Dark orange is a shade that blends tones of brown with orange, creating a more muted and earthy version of the standard orange color. Think of it as orange with a hint of brown added.
Here's a breakdown of what that means:
- Composition: Dark orange retains the basic characteristics of orange (a mix of red and yellow), but it is tempered by the addition of brown. Brown itself is a dark, desaturated orange.
- Visual Effect: This results in a color that is less vibrant and energetic than pure orange, possessing a more grounded and natural feel.
