If you don't want to start over, get a soft cream paint and glaze mixture and do a rag or sponge treatment over the orange to soften it and lighten it.
I had this happen with a client, and her reaction was to want to completely redo the room. I talked her into letting me do a "wash" over it, to tone the colour down and she was delighted with the end result.
The process is quite simple, using 2 parts off white (cream) latex paint, 2 parts latex based glazing compound (for faux finishes) and 1 part water.
Mix well, saturate a pad of lint free cloth, wring out slightly and "wash" the walls, using broad sweeping loose stokes.
Be sure the paint mixture is wrung out enough not to drip, but that there is enough mixture to leave a film of colour over your top coat.
The result is a subtle toning down of the colour which leaves the impression of the orange, but not the intensity.

You are 15 years old and you want to paint your room but you are not exactly sure what color you should paint it you like bright colors but not too bright your favorite colors are pink and orange HELP?
I don't recomend orange for a room, but a light pink would look nice in a room, especially if you are going for a cozy feel to the room. If the room is well lit by natural light you can go for a darker tone, but if it does not get much natural light then a lighter tone would be better. How about purple. Its not too light and its not too dark.
