For those of you who asked, the studio is painted, head (ceiling) to toe (walls) in
Valspar Interior Satin in
Sunset Glow. It’s 3009-2, the 4th one down in the far right-hand column. I don’t know that this color swatch is accurate, as the living room is much orange-r than the studio, and I think it’s Orange Glow (upper left-hand corner)—but here (Valspar color chart page) they look the same, don’t they?
What I did was to get a bunch of swatches (y’all saw those in an earlier photo) and tape them to the wall that gets sun in the late afternoon. We picked the one that glowed the most warmly. I didn’t want orange for this room; I wanted the color of warm, late afternoon sunshine.
Yes, I love it a lot.

This one has more yellow in it.
I never knew there was a special way to start painting a wall. LOL I'm like the young couple: start in one corner and paint right round the room. All this "trimming out" is beyond me.
Looks good though.
I have a question. Do you worry about the orange walls interfering with what is the true colour of the art you are working on? Is that why so many places are always white?
I love colour too and yet when I walk into bead and material stores, the walls are usually white.
I do love the orange!
Cheers, Denise
the only white walls in the house are 1) the top half of the front bathroom and 2) the top half of the sewing studio, which is where i do everything with fabric. the beads are there, too--yeah, it's hard to get a good color read in a deeply-colored room!
