With black

These tones are most often used for accessories, decor, wall and ceiling decoration. The interiors of the kitchens in black and orange can be seen in the photo below.

With green

Cold gamma

Orange goes well with blue, both tones are bright enough and together balance each other. Blue softens the heat of the concomitant color and vice versa - carrot dilutes excessive cold. However, to use these tones together in one kitchen interior you will need high-quality lighting, otherwise the blue elements will seem much darker.

Softer shades, for example, tiffany or mint, are combined according to the same principles, bringing a bit of coolness. Variants of orange-colored kitchen design in combination with blue and blue can be seen in the photo.
