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.

A versatile color that enhances Poppy red and complements Vert noir.

Artist Günther Förg was looking for a color between KT 43.17 Orange and KT 43.20 Bright yellow. It was to be as good-natured as golden marigold petals and to keep its brilliance in strong color combinations, even under artificial lighting. Straightforward mixtures of red and yellow do not fulfill these requirements; they are disharmonic in many combinations and falter under artificial lighting. Persian orange, however, keeps its luminosity under all these conditions by virtue of generous additions of raw green umber and ochre.
