Outdoor Orange Palette
Fortunately, you have a wide range of colors to paint your house on the outside. Surely you will find the perfect orange for yours. Each one has its qualities and personality that characterize it.
Terracotta colour: It is one of the most common orange colors, especially for painting outdoors. It is a tone that adapts to various styles, although it is perfect for rustic and country houses.

Mandarin orange: It is surely the most intense orange shade of the palette. It can be used in modern or avant-garde constructions combined with other colors, for example gray colors.
Orange houses, rustic and modern
The most intense and darkest variants are special to paint the exterior walls, dividing walls, terraces and patios of rustic houses. Even the facade can wear some orange hue.
But this family of colors suits all styles, and modern and avant-garde homes are no exception. Orange paint can be present as an accent color, or as a main color.
You don’t need to paint everything orange
You see that it is a striking color and with a lot of intensity. And maybe it’s your favorite color, but you’re afraid that the result will be too garish, and it can be. It is better to highlight a portion of the façade, as the best modern constructions do.
Or maybe you can just limit yourself to the entrance, painting the door of your house in a bright color is always a good and fun idea.
