Two walls are a burnt orange color, I am not sure what color to paint the other two. And suggestions?

A soft caramel color would go nicely.

I would make 3 one color and add just one extra wall color for an accent. You want to stick with the same tone so anything too light won't blend in well and will stick out too much. I'd choose a chocolatey brown or a lighter(or darker) shade of the burnt orange you have now.

It depends on your tast, there's a variety of colors that would work well.
For a monochromatic look, you'd go with other shades of orange.
Or there's blue, which is a complimentary color to orange, so I'd maybe get some paint chips of blue's you like and try them next to the burnt orange.
Or you could go with reds and yellows (this is called analogus).
And lastly, theres triadic - with your burt orange you'd use a shade of green and shade of purple.
All would work really well, it just depends on your personal taste and what colors you want.

This could be a bit tricky. Pick up a color wheel and look for a color that is oposite the orange (blues, purples). Tape chips up and look at them for a few days before you choose.

a soft eggshell color is nice with orange. I have a rent house and the tenant recently redid the kitchen cabinets in eggshell with orange trim plus light orange tile on the floor and yellow curtains. It sounds awful but it is beautiful.

You can paint the other wall whatever color you want to use. The wall that is already burnt orange is TOTALLY incapable of preventing you from using whatever color you want.
Walls are ACTUALLY inanimate objects with no feelings, no brains and no nervous systems. REALLY!! And that already-painted wall is completely powerless to stop you from doing whatever you wish.

It depends where the light hits the walls.
But varying browns (anything from cream to crimson) or greens are good (I'm doing the outside of my house in Phoenix (stucco walls) in 2-tone browns with mid-green doors. Inside, I have all white of the typical cookie-cutter house (built 1999) that I want to texture with various browns. I'm also putting in new doors with more (security) glass to let in more light to one side of the room.
Accentuating vaulted ceilings looks cool too.

If you go to the Sherwin William's website, you can paint sample rooms to help you see what different colors will look like together. They have color schemes, as well as ideas.
Gluck!

a rich chocolate brown if it is an adult space
yellow if it's a child room
a deep red for a flare
a navy blue for a polished look
a turquoise for a retro look

light green
light brown
blood red
teal
lime green
I would go with blood red and lime green, I like color though.
However, most people would suggest neutral colors like a light brown/beige and light green
