Transcript
Better actually thought that black orange would be my best selling color when I made it a year ago, but making it was actually a little bit more complicated than you may think. The idea was to design a dark orange that would create a sophisticated better cozy vibe in a home. But during the formulation process, it became tricky to balance the depth of color while still having the orange be present. After some testing, I learned that balancing black, maroon, and red pigment made the color versatile as it could shift from orange to a leathery brown depending on the light. I got serious goth vibes after the color was finished and just decided to add a cross as the name to make it unique and specific to our brand. It has been a shock that this has been one of my most popular colors. Very unique, very specific, very gothic Directly on our site, we ship anywhere. Enjoy it. It's a beautiful color.
