sunset orange

Evening sky shade

Sunset orange is a warm, reddish-orange color evoking the sky during sunset—deeper and more saturated than standard orange, with hints of red or gold.

The term appears in paint swatches, fashion, and design contexts: The walls were painted sunset orange.

Like other compound color names, it's more evocative than precise.
