Orange/gold rooms
One of the colors I am leaning towards is an orange. Has anyone used this color? DH is concerned that it will look too much like Halloween.

Re: Orange/gold rooms
I have seen it look AWESOME but you have to do it the right way....like a muted / burnt orange...with lots of accents, furniture that blends etc.

Re: Orange/gold rooms
our living room is orange-ish it's actually two different shades, which you can see in some of the pictures if you look closely. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Orange/gold rooms
We used a burnt orange in our home office and it looked great! Our main walls were a caramel color and the accent wall we used the orange. I love that color! ETA: Here's a pic - desk is messy Image Attachment(s):

The darker color is exactly what I want. I love it.

Re: Orange/gold rooms
We used to have a gold color in our living room and an orange color in our dining room in our old apt. The orange color was called "Falling Leaves" by Behr. It was a gorgeous burnt orange color. I'd highly recommend it!

Re: Orange/gold rooms
Our basement (which is our rec room) is something like a pumpkin color. My initial thought when I saw it when we first saw the house was "EWWWWWW.." But within a minute or two I decided I liked it and it worked well for the space

We painted our den an orange color - its "Caramel Latte" from Benjamin Moore. It looks really nice and make the room seem really warm.

Re: Orange/gold rooms
I had a brighter "pumpkin orange" in my co-op bedroom right before I sold it. It was definitely bright and out there.
But I really liked it. You have to like orange though to go for it. 
My wife and my MIL are in the process of painting our house. I will probably do orange in our bedroom again.
