Marmelo is a rich, burnt orange with mellow depth
Marmelo takes the warmth of marmalade and tones it down with earthy depth, sitting between Dutch Orange and Harissa. It feels comforting rather than loud, especially in low light.
This shade pairs beautifully with creamy neutrals like Pointing and warm, stony tones such as Cord. For contrast, use deeper browns or blue-greens.
Where Marmelo works best
- Dining rooms and snug spaces that need warmth after dark.
- Front doors or statement joinery for a heritage twist.
- Kitchens with warm timber and natural stone.
