Color Origins and Literary History

Marigold is yellow-orange in color. It takes its name from the flower of the same name. It is currently unknown when calendula was first used as a color name, although New Zealand author Katherine Mansfield did use it to describe a hair color in her short story Something Childish But Very Natural (1914).

This literary and floral heritage makes Marigold paint color an excellent choice for spaces that celebrate creativity, warmth, and natural beauty.
