What is the meaning of the color Pastel Orange?
Orange as a distinct color name entered English around 1512, borrowed from the Old French orenge, which traced back to the Sanskrit naranga through Arabic and Persian trade routes for the citrus fruit. Pastel versions of orange gained traction in the 18th and 19th centuries as European textile and wallpaper industries began producing softer, diluted dye lots for domestic interiors. The Victorians adopted muted oranges widely in printed fabrics and decorative tile work, particularly in Britain during the 1870s Arts and Crafts movement led by designers such as William Morris. Farrow and Ball, the British paint company, has continued this tradition with tones such as Orangery, anchoring soft orange firmly in the language of refined interior color.
