Orange is the happiest color! It’s hard to disagree with Frank Sinatra’s famous quote. The color orange is a popular choice for creating an inviting and invigorating interior design. Plus, no other color is used more to identify with the fall season. From pumpkins and falling leaves to crackling fires and sun sets on a crisp autumn night, orange evokes feelings of comfort and warmth. Due to its versatile nature and variety of hues available, the happiest color can complete your home design year round.
