In the three decades following the much maligned, but oft-imitated ‘70s, the color orange suffered from a bad rap. (As if the mauve of the ‘80s was somehow superior.) The sharp citrus shade has been enjoying a revival in the last ten years, however, especially in interiors with a modern sensibility. Crisp orange accessories in otherwise stark white rooms (or the other way aroundóorange-walled rooms with clean-lined white sofas and curvy modernist chairs) have been a much-loved look. (One wonders if avocado is due for a revival…)
