Yes! Love that color. Now I just have to see if Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore can duplicate something similar b/c that is what our builder uses. Thanks for everyones responses!
I just painted a room orange and brown. Sound awful but it came out so nice. I used Behr brant paint with the primer mixed in. It worked very well. I used a color called Cajun Red but it is not red it is orange. I love it and would do it again.

I have done that in the past for teal, pink, and even the blue used for the exterior shutters and door on my home!
I agree. I have done this for years. So much cheaper than buying 50 quarts of paint you'll never use again. Also you dont have to buy orange. You can mix what you have on hand. (red + yellow= orange) Craft paint is water base and can be mixed with water base house paint to make your own colors.
Paint your choice on a large piece of white poster board. This way you can do multiple tests around the room and in different lighting without messin up your walls. Keep tweaking until you get what you want then take it to the paint guys to be color matched.

I second that. I've done that a couple of times when I realized the paint I bought was close to but not quite what I had in mind once I put some of it on the wall. I'd just get my craft paints out and adjust the color a bit.
I had forgotten that I took a picture of my ragged orange wall just in case someone wondered how it came out.

I don't usually like orange but like the way that looks a lot!
They are remodeling our office and have painted a display wall orange. I wasn't too sure about the color but really like it surprisingly. It is from Sherman Williams and is called Navel (as in oranges).
When it comes to oranges, greens and yellows I like what I term "clean" colors. Bright and vibrant is better (even pastel versions can be clean) than the muddy, dirty colors for me. Olive green is one of my least favorite colors ever.
