Reasons Orange can be good:
1. Is seen as the hottest of all colors
2. Has steered clear of any extremely positive or negative connotations
3. Modern use in situations where safety through visibility is an issue
4. Not taken seriously (aside from the above use). people’s perception of the color is usually jovial, exuberant, or for hilarity.
5. The lighter shades, such as peach, coral and melon all have more calming, pleasant connotations, pastel oranges have acquired a more maternal quality. Darker oranges slide into the earth tones, settle the mind into a safe, natural world.
6. According to Color Therapy: ORANGE is the color of joy and wisdom. It affects the second chakra (sacral). It gives an energy, stimulates appetite and it is a good color for illnesses of the colon and digestion. Spiritually it is the color of joy. It connects us to our emotional self.
7. Orange, a color named after the fruit, is the brightest, most stimulating, and most decorative hue that exists. It possesses the qualities of both red and yellow, and in its pure state it is so warm that it should be used only in small quantities. It expresses energy, spirit, hope, courage, and cordiality.
8. Physiological Effect: Orange has proven to be a stimulus of the sexual organs. Also, it can be beneficial to the digestive system and can strengthen the immune system.
9. Psychological Effect: Orange has shown to have only positive affects on your emotional state. This color relieves feelings of self-pity, lack of self-worth and unwillingness to forgive. Orange opens your emotions and is a terrific antidepressant.
Reasons Orange can be bad:
1. That's a lot of orange to paint on EVERY wall in a 12 x 12 ft. room. I included the door for a better comparison, but it actually makes the orange look not so bad.
After going to Home Depot and mixing paint 3 different times, this is what I ended up with. It's SO dark and bold. I hating the brown and tan we had in there (It totally didn't fit our style). Since it was my need to re-paint, Mike left it all up to me, and I'm trying to not regret it. It's possibly the hardest color to find the right paint for. I still have to finish it, but I'm hoping as I rearrange and get some teal or blue accent accessories it'll be OK. There's no way I'm repainting the whole things after doing 2 coats and edging by myself.
At least all the psychological effects of the color are good!

I had a hard time with my living room once we got it all done. I just kept saying, "Wow, that's really ORANGE." But I got used to it really fast, and once we got our furniture in place and pictures on the walls, I loved it. Give it time. I'm sure you'll get used to it. It looks like a richer color than ours, but I think it looks really good.
My sister Kristi (who loves painting and studied art) loves the color! If she had a house she would probably paint something similar.
I think you are just lucky to be able to break out of the tan/brown phase the rest of the world is stuck in.
I actually really like it in the pictures! I have wanted to paint my spare bathroom orange but it really is so hard to find the right orange! I always bring home paint swatches that I think look good and they look so bright at home. I want to come see it!
so i really dont think your orange room is that bad! i like color. and you decorate so cute that it will look good!
I really like the Orange!! I am sure once you put pictures on the wall you will like it!
I like the color! We need to come see it-I need some ideas for our house. I'm totally retarded when it comes to decorating and painting. But yah, I really like it
This post is really funny, I'm sure you'll do amazing things to make the room look fantastic. I know I could never be so bold. I'll be one of those tan/brown neutral people probably my whole life. Ugh!
