Hey who makes a burnt orange or what inks do I mix to make a burnt orange I,m using union inks.

International Coatings makes it. Do you have the Union mixing system? If so, I'll look for a close Pantone match to which you could get the formula.
-
If you are eyeballing a RS Blue or purple with any stock "Dolphin" orange should do it depending on shade preference. Tint slowly!

darryl, i sent you a pm, let me know.

IC's Burnt Orange varies slightly between their Multi Purpose and 700 series, but it's somewhere between 158C and 1585C

Frog you would think I,d have a union mixing book, but I have a Rutland and don't even use rutland and I got this from the company that I used to buy all my union inks from back in the day Tubelite....anyway thanks guys

I don't think there is an official burnt orange. Texas Orange is pretty burnt; maybe start with your stock orange and add some brown or even black, slowly. A royal blue will take you that way too, or pick a PMS number and go that way (it will be easily repeatable later)

Buy a pantone book. You wont have to deal with color names ever again............. ;D

I should have sent him one of our old ones. ;)
Also Darryl, the color might be a little too "burnt" you can always add some warm red or bright orange to it to bring it back to the orangier side.

Thanks Brad, Jblue you're right I do need a pantone book I guess other than union inks, I been pretty lucky over the years and really never had to do to much ink mixing....

Union's Texas Orange is pretty brown, but if it's too brown for you, try mixing it with their regular orange, or perhaps some gold yellow, or even some flo orange. Off the top of my head, I think UT's official Pantone # is 159, though I've seen licensees use everything from 166 to 484 to 159 -- you can actually call the school and ask them, and they'll tell you, which is what I did many years ago, being in Austin, but I'm not at work right now, so I can't double-check that.
