Orangebraun

Orangebraun is a descriptive color term used primarily in German-language design and color catalogs to denote a hue in the orange-brown range. The name combines orange with braun (brown), signaling a warm, earthy shade that sits between orange and brown on the color spectrum. In common color systems, orangebraun is depicted by variations around hex codes such as #A45A2A, with RGB approximately 164, 90, 42 and an HSL neighborhood near 28° hue, 65% saturation, and 41% lightness. Because there is no single standardized value for orangebraun, exact representations may differ by manufacturer or catalog.

Applications and usage: In fashion, interior design, graphic design, and product branding, orangebraun is used to convey warmth, rustic or autumnal moods, and a sense of naturalism. It pairs well with neutrals such as cream, beige, and charcoal, as well as with deep greens or blues for contrast. The shade is commonly found in leather goods, wooden accents, and earthy palettes.

Variations and perception: Lightened versions may appear as orange-beige or terracotta, while darker forms approach burnt orange or umber. The term is descriptive rather than a formal color standard, and its interpretation can vary across industries and cultures.
