Color of the Week: Orange

Orange:  |ˈôrənj, ˈär-|  noun.  a round juicy citrus fruit with a tough bright reddish-yellow rind; a secondary color that has been formed by the mixture of red and yellow pigments; a color between yellow and red in the spectrum, an effect of light with a wavelength between 590 and 610 nm.

We see color every day. The farmers market is one of my favorite spots for an eyeful of color. I love looking at the brightly colored display of fruits and vegetables - apple greens, cherry red tomatoes, eggplant purples, leafy spinach greens and lemon yellows. The oranges are my favorite. They are sunny and warm to the eye and refreshing to the taste.

I love the color orange. Orange reminds me of autumn leaves, citrus fruits, Halloween, mangoes and pumpkins. This vibrant color, combined from red and yellow makes me feel positive and optimistic. Like the color red, orange attracts my attention right away. This bold and energizing color radiates warmth and happiness. When I see orange I feel confident, elated and uplifted. What does the color orange bring up for you?
