Picking Oranges


We're looking for just the right shade of orange for the kitchen. It has to be dark, but not too dark. Not too orangey either. It has to be perfect.

As a result, I have been canvassing the Lowe's and Home Depots in my area for samples.

I've gathered up more burnt orange than a firefighter in Valencia.

I would post our final choice here, but most people don't calibrate their displays and such screens are notoriously bad at reproducing color. And this is a subtle art, this "orange picking".

So you'll just have to come over and see it.

Think rust, then go a shade lighter.
