Lots of possibilities using orange - you could go light and bright with lemon yellow and lime green on/with white

You could tone it down with rust and brown - add a touch or purple or eggplant/aubergine and olive green- surprisingly, it does work (the technical reason - it's a triad on a color wheel)

You can put it with red and yellow for a blaze of color - sunset/sunrise colors - add some black for silhouettes

Pantone names a color every year and designers of fashion and home decor follow up with lots of articles in their choice. Year 2012 is the year of "Mango Tango" You can find it in most everything....from paints to bathing suits.
