This is a sophisticated color combo with a little bit of an edge. Combining a cool gray (like Dior Gray) with warm orange accents can make a space really come to life. The combination is so strong that it can stand on its own, but it also works with a dark grounding element like a deep blue-gray. More photos below.
I love this colour combo. I really want to put it in my kitchen!

Funny how this post comes on the heels of "Ashley's Downtown Design on a Dime" entry.
But I basically love Orange with just about anything.

Love it! My dining room is orange and gray and the combo always gets a lot of nice compliments.

I love orange and I love the ideas above. I just had our bathroom painted steel grey - it's time to shop for orange accessories!

I adore orange. If only I could convince my husband of its merits...

I'm a huge fan, needless to say. My tiny house is a riot of these two shades. I love it for its pop; a far cry from red and white, but somehow related. Thanks for zeroing in on this great color scheme.

Claymover, I love your cat! What is the color of the other wall...is it gray or white?

I have an orange/grey scheme in my living/dining room and I ordered a sample of that wallpaper in the top picture.
The background color is actually a lot more brown than it looks in the photo.
Graham&Brown even call it chocolate.
Too bad.

I like the orange and gray combo, warm and cool, sweet and sour, you could say.
I wrote a posting today called "Orange Crush" with that pairing, along with a bunch of others, and tons of cool Orange design gear:
