Orange. What an interesting color. I can't say it melds well with my personality, as I much favor purple, yellow, or hues of blue, yet orange is so very interesting. It's bright. It attracts your attention, whether it be on a deer hunter, a construction worker, a parking attendant, or your daughter's bedroom walls (my daughter's are half orange and half yellow). It is kind of a cheery color, although it often wavers toward warning of dangerous conditions. I've never tried wearing orange much. It really doesn't go with my coloring at all, and while I was in college, I abhored the fact that our school colors were orange and black, yet a rusty orange is comforting to me, particularly if it is a color scheme in someone else's living room. I love subtle rusty orange cardstock paper, a good orange pumpkin, and the taste of juicy Florida oranges in the dead of winter.
