About Burnt Orange
Burnt orange is a deep, rich orange with brownish undertones that give it a depth and warmth that pure orange lacks. The 'burnt' quality comes from the reduced brightness, as if the color has been charred at the edges, giving it a rugged, earthy character. Burnt orange has strong associations with autumn, American college sports culture, and the warm tones of desert landscapes in states like Texas and Arizona.
