Ginger is not a color seen on the red carpet very often, but when it is, it sure does leave a lasting impression. Like Susan Sarandon’s 1996 Dolce & Gabbana gown for the Oscars which cemented Ginger as a color that can certainly stand up to the glamour and glitz of award shows. Ginger has a warm and comfortable feel that shines through in all types of clothing.
How the color is made: The color Ginger is made by micing Very Light (almost peachy) Orange and Very Dark Red to create a spicy color that feels comforting and nurturing.
History: Ginger was a color that was historically associated with modesty, meekness, and solitude. This is why Franciscan monks still wear Ginger robes to denote their courteous servitude in the church.

Ginger is another one of those underutilized colors but fashion designers the world over understand its value in enhancing a collection.

A leather couch in a Ginger hue adds an inviting feel to a living room, and drapery done in deep swags of Ginger and Rust adds depth to windows that perfectly frame the blueness of the sky and greenery of nature outside.
