Answer: We used orange in the kitchen in the early seventies. We were so freakd out by the A&W color, and high on the oil paint fumes when we became playful and painted one another orange. We gave up painting until quite recently and will never use orange paint again! My niece has a brightly colored bedspread with electric orange, lime green, blue, yellow and hot pink. She has a cotton rag rug in bright orange in front of her veranda. It looks fabulously "in", and meant for the room's delightful youthful look.!
