Shades of orange combine with cream, brown and green. A step above neutral shades, the fabrics here represent the trend toward transitional fabrics. Spiced-up colors allow homeowners to ease the shift from indoors to outdoors with a palette not too bold and not too dull, but more metallic and subdued in nature.
