I used Sherwin Williams Tigereye in my den and absolutely LOVE it! I'll try to take a photo this evening and post it later.

Here's a pretty fair approximation of Tigereye that I found online:

--although on my monitor it looks like the color fades out slightly. This is actually a very rich, somewhat deep shade. The guy at SW told me it was one of their most popular, which actually surprised me as I didn't think many people would dare to paint in orange hues!

Auntjen, thx so much, if you have a chance I would love to see a pic.

EK Pumpkin Spice is a beautiful color in pictures. I haven't used it, but another poster here, kabergs, has it in her mudroom and powder room and it looks great. You can see a picture on Ellen Kennon's website, scroll down to see the Pumpkin Spice.

i love the pumpkin spice. i want to paint my master bedroom that colour... i thought it would look really good with my red toile quilt. convincing dh of it though is another story! i may just paint it anyways :)

Those of us who are loyal University of Texas alums think BURNT ORANGE is the perfect shade! Hook 'em Horns!

:-)

Actually, alumni pride aside, burnt orange really is a very nice color and may be just what you're looking for. Deep and intense but not garish. A little bit brownish but nowhere near as dark as cinnamon.

Sherwin Williams "Copper Mountain" looks like it is pretty close.

I forget who made it but I saw a beautiful orangy-red called snapdragon. It had punch!

Perhaps consider adding a topcoat of teastain glaze to get that deeper richer pumpkin orange?

I like BM Audubon Russett and SW Baked Clay. Here's a pic of my kitchen in Baked Clay.

thanks everyone for the suggestions, you've definitely given me some food for thought. Jyyanks - -thanks for sharing your kitchen, that color looks so warm and welcoming.

I love the EK pumpkin spice recommendation - -I'll have to check it out asap! thx again to all.

I was watching Sarah Richardson's show Design Inc. on Tuesday night and she did a dining room and painted it orange. It was stunning. I've linked to the website below. Unfortunately the text for the paint palette and the details are in a white font so you have to click and hold down your mouse button and scroll down over the text to highlight it to see it (weird website layout!). But the paint she used is Farrow & Ball Loggia on the walls and Lime White on the ceiling.

Our study is SW Spicy Hue. We love it and get tons of complements.

I LOVE my pumpkin spice! I've had a million complements on it as well. It's such a feel good happy color. I'd highly recommend it.

I posted the link to my photo album with pictures below. Skip over all the kids shoes pics and go right to page two for the mudroom and powder room photos.

I am currently having my house painted and am painting the accent wall and my bathroom MAB Copper Moon, it looks so awesome, I will post pictures once I figure this picture posting thing out on here.

The Pottery Barn catalog had a dining room in BM Audubon Russet, and I was *this close* to using it in my dining room, until I decided that orange didn't flow with the rest of my rooms. But it looks nice.

We painted our living room RL Cork about a year ago. To me it's a deep burnt orange although on their website, it looks very brownish. Not at all what it looks like IRL.

I really love the color but plan to repaint the room to a goldish color, hopefully before the Holidays. I do love Cork but it doesn't work well with the wood of my staircase which is also in that room. I never even considered that when I chose the color... wish I had found this site sooner!! Someday, I may use the color again somewhere. DR might just be a good idea, lol.

Here are a couple of pictures of the RL Cork. It seems difficult to get a good picture - probaby my photography skills. The first picture is from Christmas last year - when everything seemed crammed into the room to make room for the large tree I love.... we live in an older, smallish home that always seems to be in some stage of renovation.

I would say the truest color is over to the right by the lamp. I hate the window, they're on our list for replacement next summer. The drapes need revision too, but don't want to spend any money dressing the windows until they're replaced.

This picture I took this morning, in the middle of a rainstorm, so the house is very dark & dreary.

I have SW Copper Mountain in my kitchen. I love it! It looks a little light in this picture. It is more of a very warm, dark terra cotta:

Thanks everyone, you have hit the nail on the head in finding what I am looking for. I can't wait to get these swatches up to see if they look as good in my room as they do in yours. thx!
