I have a solid sorta bright orange shirt but I have no clue what color tie goes with it. Any suggestions? Thanks
what color/pattern tie goes with a semi bright orange shirt?

I think dark browns would work.
Bright orange is a pretty unconventional dress shirt color to match with a tie. Is this a "going out" outfit? I hope it's not for work.
A bright blue tie will sort of energize it. But it will be a "loud" look.

Its not that bright but it isn't a pastel orange, It isn't shiny or anything
How about a black tie? Black tie goes with anything in my book....
Do you wear it with a jacket of any type? Could you incorporate some of those colors? Otherwise, I suppose on how "loud" an orange the shirt is. Maybe lavender or a shade of green would work.
A dark blue solid tie with some sort of texture (knit, raw silk, wool, cotton, etc) would play well with a loud shirt such as that. Blue is complimentary to orange, and it's a great staple tie to have around. If you're wearing it with a navy jacket you might look for something with a bit more sheen or a pattern to provide contrast and avoid looking too matchy.
Hopefully the manufacturer has implanted a physical "tie rejecting device" in each bright orange shirt they sell.
Something mainly dark/navy blue
I'm actually an old school traditionalist, but contrary to my previous post, that looks pretty good.Something mainly dark/navy blue
I wouldn't call that bright, though.
I would argue quite strongly that I cannot imagine anything going with an orange shirt, sorry but that is it really, but best of luck and I am sure it will be fun trying.
Definitely blue; with strong colours complimentary colours usually work best.
