“Juicy Orange”
Orange lies between red and yellow on the visible light spectrum and influences vitality with endurance. Like red, it is associated with sexuality, but in a gentler way.
It stimulates activity and encourages socialization. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere.
I always think of beautiful warm sunsets or of course – lots of juicy oranges to eat!
Orange in design
Orange is a colour that really stands out, even at a distance. It seems to shout, “Hey, look at me!”
It’s less aggressive than red but can be used in a similar way to grab attention and highlight important areas of a design.
Orange as in the fruit conveys thoughts of sun, vitamin C and health. It also has links with autumn and change; autumn leaves changing from green to orange to brown.
Generally, it’s a great color to attract attention without offending or stopping anyone in their tracks.
