The Color Orange

Orange! Orange is part of the Warm Color category and warm colors tend to have an exciting effect. When used alone, however, this color group can overstimulate, generating strong emotions including anger. As we always suggest, it is often wise to combine colors with another group to bring about balance.

Orange: Vibrancy, Energy, Excitement, Instinct, Optimistic, Impulse

Orange: Creates a playful environment for your guests.

Orange is attention-getting, so it’s a great color to use at a fundraiser or any event where you want to bring in excitement and playfulness! In 2012, Tangerine Tango was named the Pantone Color of the Year and over the last couple of years we have seen shades of orange, coral and peach increase in popularity. Orange accents in the Secret Garden are beautiful and really stand out against the lush green grass and arborvitaes.
