Orange

TGIF everyone!  Today I'm going to continue the color trend from yesterday's Red to Orange, of course my favorite color.  I'm really happy to see that Orange has become much more celebrated in the past few years as I feel it was vastly underrated.  Much anger was thrown at Orange thanks to construction barrels, prisoners and terrorism alerts.  Yikes!  There is so much more to this beautiful color, seen by these examples of the power of Orange.  Plus, it's a fruit.  What's better than that?

Color is a very powerful tool to inject emotion into our surroundings.  Orange can be cool and subdued or hot and fiery.  Less aggressive than red, it stirs a warmth of emotions, sort of like comfort food for the soul, as in a firey sunset. A perfect complement to sky and water blue, the Golden Gate bridge shimmers and can be seen for miles.  And what better to complement the cool, grey winter than bright, summery orange flags in Central Park.  What's your favorite Orange? - l.o.d.



P.S. Here's mine!
