Orange happens to be one of my favorite colors. It is a combination of yellow and red, ranging from warm orange tones to intense bright hues, melon and peach tints, darker autumn shades, and terracotta.
When I think of orange, the word stimulation comes to mind. Orange can put you in a prime form for mental tasks and it also stimulates the appetite.
Orange increases the oxygen supply to the brain and encourages creativity.
Some of the positive psychological effects orange may have on us include physical comfort, warmth, security, shelter, passion, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, excitement and fun.
Orange is used to draw attention with its vibrant and flamboyant characteristics.
Because orange symbolizes abundance, it can also imply affordability and low cost.
Nobody likes to talk about the negative implications of color, especially when it relates to one of my favorite colors. Orange can bring an outlook of deprivation, frustration, aggression, frivolity, and immaturity.
However, what I like best about the color orange is the energy it reveals, and its association with sunshine, health, and vitality.
