Orangewhite

Orangewhite is a nonstandard color name used in design and digital media to describe a pale, warm hue that sits between orange and white. It denotes a family of light, desaturated oranges that produce a soft, creamy appearance. Because orangewhite is not defined by any official color standard, the exact shade varies across manufacturers, brands, and color systems.

In the sRGB color space, orangewhite is typically represented as a high-luminance value with a dominant red component and lighter green and blue components, yielding a pastel tint. Common approximate ranges are in the high-240s for red and mid-190s to low-230s for green, with blues in the 170s to 210s; exact hex codes often cited for orangewhite fall into a family around #F0DABF to #FFD9C0. However, since there is no standard, practitioners may select slightly warmer or cooler variants to match contexts such as branding or interior design.

The term is used to convey warmth, friendliness, and softness; it is common in branding for consumer goods, in user interfaces for approachable experiences, and in interiors where a light, sunny ambiance is desired. When used for text over orangewhite backgrounds, designers must ensure sufficient contrast for accessibility, particularly with dark text.

Related color names include peach, apricot, creamsicle, and beige; orangewhite is often considered a light, warm alternative within the broader pastel and warm neutral families.
