I have always loved orange for it's happy vibe but I still haven't incorporated it into my house. To me, it looks fresh and is a nice change from the colors we more often see. Magazines always show lots of orange leading up to Halloween but as you can see here, it's not just for fall. Paired with robin's egg blue or dove gray, it looks sophisticated and clean. My son's room has a great khaki trim that would look incredible with orange walls. The only problem being that sports rule in our house and the color of the Texas Longhorns would never fly in a Texas Tech student's room. Sigh, Priorities...
