Basic Information

  • In-Colors 2021 to 2023

Pale Papaya is a light, rich peach-orange with a soft, sweet feel. It suggests papaya, tropical fruit and coral flowers, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as apricot, peach, melon or sherbet, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

Pale Papaya is a soft orange with a subtle red-orange influence. It sits near the orange area, giving it a warm presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 25° gives it its red-orange character, its saturation of about 42% makes it feel soft rather than flat, and its value of about 99% gives it a light, usable weight.
