There's something so comforting about this deep red-orange. Maybe it's because of our outback's beautiful red dirt that makes this colour feel like home, or it's the reminiscence of autumn leaves falling as the days get cooler that makes you feel like snuggling up in front of a warm fire. It's incredibly versatile and brings an earthy, return-to-nature feeling with it, especially when paired with greenery. We took a deep dive through Instagram to find some of the most inspiring rust-coloured images that'll have you reaching for a paint brush.

The Golden Gate Bridge wasn't originally intended to have its now-iconic rusty colour. When the steel for the bridge's construction was delivered, it was coated in a burnt red and orange shade of primer to protect it from corrosive elements, and the consulting architect Irving Morrow liked it so much that they didn't paint over it.
