Burnt orange.

I had a look and it's an old dulux paint mixed on request so no longer available except a google search comes up with a match in Russian!  B&Q do the Valspar range now but there are some amazing shades of orange there and I'm sure you'd find similar!  This is what I found....the one I used is the darkest.

That code will still be in their mixing machines.

Has anyone used this sort of colour recently, to good effect? Or know of a nice luminous shade of this colour?

Tempted to go for this in a bathroom revamp, possibly just on one wall if it's a bit powerful...

See below for the kind of effect I'm looking/hoping for, although it would likely be with scorched timber basin unit and fittings - shelves, etc. That's the idea at least...

Thanks.

I like the colour but I don't like those flat bottomed basins.

With a curved bottomed basin a small amount of water is enough to be able to scoop water up to wash and rinse your face etc.

With a flat bottomed basin you need half a gallon or more.

p.s. I took up oil painting during lockdown....look what colour I went for! 

If I could add that design to the wall, I'd be done :-)

Gorgeous. Love it. You've added dark shading in the corners? So nice...

Is that the same actual shade as your wall? How did you get that colour in 'oil'?

Yes, the only thing I like in that pic is the colour.

An actual name for a paint shade, Doozer! Thank you :-) ('Gushing' subject to revision once I check it out...)

I have in mind; the existing T&G pine floor to be resanded and given a 'white' translucent finish - 'white Ash', that sort of thing so the grain still shows through. Skirtings and dado probable kept white satinwood as they are. T&G cladding possibly 'anthracite' satinwood (a lot darker than current), and then walls in the burnt orange, with wood/rope wall lights.

Then new, more modern, white loo, rectangular sit-on basin (sorry, Bel...) on top of unit made from scaffold boards or similar (idea pinched from photo below), scorched and stained further to make them near-black. And then shelves, possibly suspended on thick hemp rope up t'corners - that sort of stuff. Cosy, rustic.

I really want to enjoy the renovation, and can only do so if it's summat to aim for.

Existing:

And shower needs making longer:

And this is the sort of unit and shelves I'd like to build, although 'blackened':

It'll look good!

I'd do the whole room, like that one.  No compromises.  The painting really makes it.  

I have done a bathroom for a client where the stone bath exterior was burnt orange - Charlottes Lock by Farrow & Ball.  Walnut cabinetry and some rather whacky tiles that looked like they were also made from walnut.  She's well into mid century design and has lined the window with orange/brown glassware that looks lovely in the light.  

It's unconventional but it looks really classy.  

That colour certainly looks spot-on on the screen. Delicious.

What 'type' of paint was used for the bath - I presume it had to be durable? Matt, satin? What did you think of it, Doozer - it wasn't too 'tangerine'? Who actually chose the colour - you or the client?!

Looks lovely. :-)

Shower aside, it doesn't look too bad as it is!

I would imagine it looked a bit Le Creuset:

The bath company do it.  It was an ex-display and when I saw it I thought of her immediately. 

It's not tangerine, it's dirtier. 

Same bath, different situation.  

Orange and walnut are made for each other, not just in Christmas stockings.   Looks wonderful with the dark, dirty petrol colour above.  Dark grey with a good drop of green on the t&g 👌

Wow - that is a colour. And it's on raw white sawn floorboards!

I'm almost excited :-)
