Arles - It is a rich yellow ochre with a hint of orange. When using Arles on furniture, Annie recommends pairing it with a cool, quiet color like Chateau Grey, Old Ochre, Country Grey, or a lightened version of Paris Grey.
It is a little difficult to pronounce correctly. HERE is how the French say it.
This color is named after the town in the south of France famous for the vast deposits of yellow ochre pigments in the hills. All the houses are painted in various ochre pigments found in the soil.
With Old White added, the color is very warm and gentle.
