What color is Farrow and Ball Orangery?

Farrow and Ball Orangery 70 is a warm, sun-baked orange with a softened golden-tan cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color while keeping the overall effect grounded and earthy. In strong daylight, Orangery can read as a mellow honeyed apricot; under warmer artificial light, its orange and ochre notes become more pronounced. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, and hallways where a rich, enveloping wall color feels appropriate, and it can also make characterful cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, aged brass, terracotta, and muted green accents for a palette with natural warmth.

What are Farrow and Ball Orangery undertones?

Orangery is a mid-light, softly saturated orange with a warm golden cast and enough color to read clearly on a wall. Within its orange family, it leans slightly toward red and yellow rather than beige or brown, giving it an apricot-to-amber character. Farrow & Ball describes it as bringing “enveloping warmth,” which fits its visibly warm orange direction. Warm artificial light may make its golden-orange qualities appear richer, while cool daylight can make that warmth look a little more restrained.
