Orange is my top 3 favorit color. I find that this color is often underestimated and dismissed as flamboyant. Just take a look around. Are there many people in the streets wearing orange? Are there any buildings with orange accents in your neighbourhood? Most probably the answer was no and on my humble opinion what a shame.
Color plays an important role in our lives. Even more than we realize. Psychologically speaking, our brain triggers subconscious emotional reactions based on color. Color is widely used in cinematography to convey feelings to the public. There is no doubt color plays an important role in our lives.
There are three color families : cool, warm and monochrome or neutral. Orange belongs to the warm family. It is the color of energy, warmth, change, health. In India orange is sacred (the color saffron). In Japan it represents courage and love. In western culture it is the color of autumn, of harvest and Halloween. For me it is a happy color.
When it is dark, gray and gloomy outside orange or yellow hues can pick you up almost literally. Please follow this link for orange trend decorating ideas from HGTV : http://www.hgtv.com/decorating/color-trends-decorating-with-orange/pictures/index.html.
