We just put up a similar color in a room, and one piece of advice: if the color is even kind of dark, use a foam roller. I'm trying to remember the name of the kind we used, but it's the little white rollers at Home Depot.

For some reason, warm colors in even medium tones go on really, really patchy. Our yellow-orange took four coats (last one with the foam, which fixed all the splotches) to get passable, while the blue in a slightly darker tone in the next room took an easy two coats with a regular roller no problem.
