Red Orange

This color is that of nasturtium blossoms. A vibrant reddish-orange with a warm radiance, reminiscent of spices and sunshine.

Capucine 601 is an intense, highly saturated, medium-bright red-orange. Its temperature is warm, almost sun-drenched, without becoming garish. The luminosity is striking and lends surfaces a dynamic presence. From a perceptual psychology perspective, the color has an activating, communicative, and optimistic effect.

Capucine 601 draws inspiration from Mediterranean facades, modern graphic design palettes, and the world of contemporary restaurant interiors. In fashion, this shade often appears as an accent to denim, caramel, and cream. Combined with light wood, natural linen, and matte whites, it creates a fresh, open atmosphere. When paired with bottle green, deep blue, or dark gray, the color takes on an urban, almost industrial edge. Along with terracotta, sand beige, and ochre, it blends into warm, earthy compositions reminiscent of southern landscapes, without becoming overly decorative.
