What color is Farrow and Ball Dutch Orange?

Farrow and Ball Dutch Orange W76 is a clear, sun-warmed orange with a golden cast, sitting closer to burnished apricot than a deep red-based rust. Its medium-light depth and lively saturation make it especially effective where a room needs a concentrated hit of color, such as a front door, kitchen island, painted chair, or alcove. In bright daylight, Dutch Orange reads fresh and glowing, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its richer amber side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale wood, woven rattan, and muted olive or soft blue accents to give the color space to stand out.

What are Farrow and Ball Dutch Orange undertones?

Dutch Orange reads as a mid-light, highly saturated orange with a clear, bright overall character. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly toward red while still carrying a noticeable yellow cast, so it appears more warm orange than muted or brownish. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “clean bright orange” with “enveloping warmth,” which aligns with its visibly warm orange family rather than suggesting a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may make its yellow-red warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the orange look cleaner and a little less golden.
