Orange (#FF7538) is a mid-tone warm shade that appears across 2 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Raoul Dufy, and El Lissitzky and the Post-Impressionism tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Raisin black (#242124), St. Patrick's blue (#23297A), and Rhythm (#777696). The combination forms a sun-bleached, daylight chord, built on a split-complementary spread, plays the source warmth against cooler companions for visible contrast, with a moderate step down in value that keeps the source forward.
