Vibrant Warmth: Why ktCOLOR's Orange Paint Colors Are Unique

The overpowering effect of many orange tones is caused by artificial pigments that make pastel shades look like yogurt or mealy apricots and intense tones appear garish. Not so with ktCOLOR: our balanced formulas combine colorfulness with naturalness and create warming, comforting orange tones that give your rooms a unique, unmistakably cozy warmth and atmosphere.

Like a tongue of fire – a magical feast for the eyes.

This shade is roughly equivalent to the color of red lead, which was once immensely popular but is no longer used today. The gray color of raw concrete and the massive dimensions of his beton brut architecture in the 1950s inspired Le Corbusier to include such a shade in the second Salubra wallpaper collection. In small, white spaces, this extreme orange would be too dominant and spatially expansive, but against the gray backdrop of massive concrete structures, it is pleasing and harmonious.
