After spending a great deal of time moping about this, I tried lightening up the paint with a little eggshell, and arrived at this:

That's the too-bright mandarin orange on the left, and the just-right on the upper right. My fishing sensei has dubbed the perfect color to be "salmon roe." I'm happy with that.
