I need to make it match. I'm not a fan of the orange.
And I can't repaint the wall.
What NON-orange colored bath accessories should I get if a bathroom wall is a soft, faded pastel orange color?
1. Very retro - avocado green.
2. Feminine - Tonal shades of pink
3. Outdoorsy - Leaf greens and yellows
4. Muted - shades of beige, mocha and butterscotch.
You may not be able to paint, but add a focal point in the colors you choose to draw the eye away from the orange. Perhaps a picture with the new colors.
Follow through with a bath rug and towels in your new color scheme.
Reply:Oh dear, I'm afraid your choices are pink in the same faded pastel, turquoise, or the dreaded avocado green.
Here's a rental trick you can try though - Wallpaper!
If you can find it, get some wallpaper you like with the type of backing that you have to apply glue to (not the kind that you just wet) and tack it to the wall (not glue) with upholstery tacks. (Or whatever is handy.) When you move out, you just have little pin holes to fill and touch up. And, as most bathrooms in rentals are small, this project should take about an hour, shopping included.
Reply:Blue would look awesome - light, dark or anything in between - depending on the size of the room and how much natural light you have. My personal opinion is if you put brown or green it would remind you too much of a pumpkin. Come to think of it some purples look excellent with orange too!!!
Good luck!
Reply:I think these towels in cinnamon, butter, thyme, taupe, sky, honey, loden, flax or mocha would look good:

Reply:Chocolate brown works well with orange.
Reply:I'd use a soft shade of yellow to offset the orange.
Reply:I'd use soft yellows and greens. Anything too bright wouldn't blend well, in my opinion.
Reply:Turquoise should look nice.
Other choices are brown, cream, white and maybe sage green.

How do I get the orange water stains from my dishwasher and washing machine?
I just got a water softener and want to remove the orange left behind.
How do I get the orange water stains from my dishwasher and washing machine?
CLR® (Get it at your grocery store in cleaning supplies.)
Enhanced Calcium, Lime %26amp; Rust Remover
CLR is a powerful formula available for dissolving tough calcium and lime deposits and surface rust stains from:
Tubs
Toilet bowls
Sinks
Glass
Chrome
Fiberglass
Stainless steel
Coffee makers
Humidifiers
Dishwashers
Washing machines
Shower heads
Reply:You certainly do not want to use any chemicals that could harm you inside your dishwasher. I swear by the old, trusted favorites.
I would scrub both of them with Ajax scouring powder. Then I would run an empty load in each machine of hot water and Clorox bleach.
Do you know how to use Ajax? Most people don't unless you're old, like me. Get a rag soaking wet, sprinkle the powder on where you are going to scrub and start scrubbing until the orange is gone. Then about 2-3 cups of Clorox in the hot water run.
Reply:you can use cloros clean-up always does the trick.
Reply:Put Tang (That powdery orange drink the astronauts use) in the
soap dispenser and run a full cycle without any dishes (without clothes). All that stuff comes off.
Reply:Run them empty with bleach in them.
Reply:Iron out, you can buy it anywhere. It comes in powder form, you throw a cup full into the Dishwasher and run it on a normal cycle and it comes out looking new. The same for the washer, it is even safe for laundry use. I have well water that leaves the orange and I use it once a month to keep the appliances looking new. If you have it realy bad you might have to run the dishwasher twice with the solution but it does work. IRON OUT

How do i stop my hair from turning orange when i dye it lighter?
I have dark brown hair. I got some highlights done a long time ago and i wanted to have light brown highlights, but i got orange looking highlights instead. This time i want to dye my own hair, and i want to know...How do i stop my hair from turning orange when i dye it lighter?
How do i stop my hair from turning orange when i dye it lighter?
The best way to do this is to choose a 'cool' shade of dye to use. A lot to blonde shades that are cool will be labelled as 'ash' and won't have the same qualities of 'warmer' dyes that will have a more orangish/reddish hue.
Hope that helps!

Are white fleshed and orange fleshed sweet potatoes interchangeable?
I bought two identical looking sweet potatoes for my valentines dinner. When I just peeled them, one had white flesh and one had orange flesh. (I was expecting both to be orange!) Can I still make mashed sweet potatoes and have them taste right, or do I have to drag myself and my 6 month old BACK to the grocery store to buy an orange one?
Are white fleshed and orange fleshed sweet potatoes interchangeable?
They do taste slightly different - one is a bit sweeter. Use both and add a little honey or sugar if necessary. You should be fine with what you have!
Reply:There is not much difference in taste.Go ahead and mash them.Taste for sweetness and adjust the sweetener you are using to suit your taste.

How do I get the orange color out of my bleached hair ?
you cant..you just have to recolor your hair. i suggest a hair product that promises 100% total coverage..and if you want some color in your hair go with a multi-deminsion hair color....my friend had the same problem
Reply:The orange you are getting is from minerals in your water, try using a shampoo called Malibu 2000 to remove it out of the hair! when bleaching the hair make sure you leave it on long enough .... most people take it off to quickly AND END UP IN THE ORANGE/RED STAGE. Report It
Reply:you need to dye it ash blonde ,it gets rid of the orange.
Reply:Then dye it again with the original colour of your hair. Easy.
