A previous description of this color from Gamblin: ”Naples Orange may be used as a base for all skin types, or used as a warm white.“ “ This color is very versatile. Like Naples Yellow, it can be used as a very warm white, this one being even warmer. And since its color intensity is moderate, Naples Orange is especially useful for portrait and figure painting, landscape painting, and abstract work.” -Gamblin Oils. Gamblin classifies this color as warm.
