I had been thinking about spring colors, and shades of raspberry pink and tangerine-y orange kept popping up. Even while I was taking in the view of the Colorado River on our last trip to Yuma, a pair of kayaks – one pink and one orange – just happened to float by.
It’s not a color combination I always think of putting together, but a deep orange can look fabulous next to full-on fuchsia.
Since then, I’ve spotted this variations of this delicious duo in art, design, destinations, and DIYs.
