The Vivid Tangerine Thread
Orange thread is one of the most useful color threads in a studio that serves the full range of seasonal and contemporary quilting -- yet it is often the last color thread studios acquire. Omni 3155 Tangerine is the vivid, saturated orange that reads as clear, energetic tangerine: neither too red nor too yellow, but the pure orange-tangerine that integrates naturally with autumn fabrics, orange tone-on-tone backgrounds, and the bold contemporary palettes where orange is increasingly a primary design element.
When to Use Tangerine
Tangerine serves a specific and identifiable category of quilts: autumn and fall-palette quilts where orange is a dominant color; citrus and tropical-palette contemporary designs; Halloween and seasonal orange projects; mixed jewel-tone quilts where orange provides the warm accent; and any bold contemporary quilt where orange fabric needs a thread match that neither red nor yellow can provide.
