Orange is warm and inviting, isn't it? Great idea to use it for accents. Too much orange can be overpowering.

I really like it. It isn't overpowering. I like orange in my quilts, too. I like it.

I'm painting two walls in my basement family room orange. It's awesome!! The color name is ripe apricot. After I get the furniture in and the things hung up on the wall I'll post a picture. My kitchen is going to be a pale orange behind the cabinets and the rest of the room is going to be a pale tan.

Be brave!! Be bold!!

Nice, I love Orange and it is my all time favorite color. I was almost burned out on it when Candy Tangerine was real popular back a few years ago in the show car world. Seemed like every bike and car I painted was the same darned color.........fortunately it has gone the way of the Champagne colors and super high metallcs and pearls.

My studio is painted an Orange variant very happy color indeed!!
