We are painting our basement built-in bookshelves, and I am thinking of color-matching the shelves to the current cream wall color OR a soft taupe color (BM Greenbrier Beige, BM Bennington Gray?) with a bold orange for the interior for a splash of color...
Now, I just have to pick the paint color. Always a fun task! I am looking for a darker red-orange versus the lighter citrus-y orange hues. I am considering FB Charlotte's Locks 268, **SW Obstinate Orange, **SW Invigorate, SW Knockout Orange, SW Energetic Orange, BM Orange Blossom, BM Racing Orange 2169-10, BM Rumba Orange, BM Dark Salmon, BM Pumpkin Cream 2168-20, BM Orange Nectar, BM Outrageous Orange, BM Orange Parrot, ** BM Festive Orange, BM Calypso Orange (too light), BM Orange Burst, BM Electric Orange, etc. but we shall see. (BM Corlsbud Canyon and SW Determined Orange are also very popular, more subdued oranges)...

The first photo below is my favorite by far! I love the wonderful mix of bold colors with the lush grass green velvet sofa, slate blue walls, orange bookshelves, and large-scale pattern hide rug. I also love the overall mix of traditional and modern textures and silhouettes. So many fantastic elements in this room!
