Neal,

Now that I have painted so many purple pots, I am anxious to paint the rest of them. IMHO, I think that your sunset colors would really stand out in purple pots as well. There are so MANY clay pots and faux clay, etc...that the pot color is common, so I do not think that the orange would be that noticable.

I did mix up some of those colors, myself, and then when I applied the paint to some test boards, they just looked like the color of wood. I had some pretty colors, too, but they just did not sing to me as the colors of purple did.... Smiling

Those lime green containers do have a nice contrast.
