About Pantone Light Orange
Light orange colors sit in a specific band of the Orange family: lightness above 65%. That gives them a distinct role in a palette. Light orange tones are airy, delicate, and suitable for backgrounds, accents, and gentle UI surfaces.
Because Pantone codes are physical ink mixes, the intensity classification on this page is based on the HEX approximation of each color — the standard digital translation used by design tools. The classification is deterministic: every code with the same HEX approximation always lands in the same intensity bucket.
If you want the full orange range — light, mid-tone, dark, and everything between — use the Pantone Orange family page.

Frequently asked questions
How many Pantone light orange colors are there?
Our catalog includes 78 Pantone light orange colors, defined as Solid Coated colors in the orange family with lightness above 65%. The exact count depends on the intensity threshold — a slightly different threshold would produce a slightly different number. The Pantone system as a whole contains more orange-family codes, but not all of them fall into this intensity band.
What is the lightest Pantone light orange color?
The lightest color in this set is 475 C (#F3CFB3). Because these are all "light" orange colors by our classification, this is the top of the lightness range for this bucket — but there are lighter codes in the full Pantone catalog that fall outside the light threshold and are covered on our broader Pantone Orange page.
What is the darkest Pantone light orange color?
The darkest color in this set is 721 C (#DDA46F). Darker orange Pantone codes exist outside this bucket — see our broader family page for the full range.
When should I use a light orange Pantone color?
Light orange colors are airy, delicate, and suitable for backgrounds, accents, and gentle UI surfaces. Use them when you need a orange that reads as soft and airy rather than heavy. They work well as backgrounds, cards, and secondary accents.
How are these colors chosen?
We classify Pantone Solid Coated colors into intensity buckets by converting each color's RGB values to HSL and comparing against fixed thresholds. Light = lightness above 65%. Dark = lightness below 30%. Pale = lightness above 75% with saturation below 30%. Vivid = saturation above 65% with lightness between 35% and 65%. This is a deterministic classifier, not a curated list — the same Pantone code always lands in the same bucket.
Are these the same as the codes on the Pantone Orange page?
Partially — the orange family page shows all orange-family codes in our catalog, while this page shows only the light subset. Every code on this page also appears on the Pantone Orange page, but not every code on that page appears here. Use this page when you specifically want light tones; use the family page when you want the full range.
