Orange

Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colours.

It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.

As a warm colour orange is a stimulant — stimulating the emotions and even the appetite.

Orange can be found in nature in the changing leaves of autumn, the setting sun, and the skin and meat of citrus fruit.

Orange brings up images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and (in combination with Black) Halloween. It represents the changing seasons so in that sense it is a colour on the edge, the colour of change between the heat of summer and the cool of winter.

Because orange is also a citrus colour, it can conjure up thoughts of vitamin C and good health.

If you want to get noticed without screaming, consider the colour orange — it demands attention.

The softer oranges such as peach are even friendlier, more soothing.

Peachy oranges are less flamboyant than their redder cousins but still energetic.
