Color Symbolism
While red is associated with heat, and yellow with summer; orange brings to mind the color of a beautiful
sunset. Categorized as an eye-catching color, orange serves its purpose in many different aspects in life.
It is said that the name of the color was first recorded in 1512. Named after the fruit, orange, the color is
vibrant in nature. In Hinduism, saffron, red and white has served as a sign of respect for religious ceremonies
for over 2000 years. The Buddhist monks often wear saffron ropes in some parts of the world. Another
country that utilized orange as a sign of power is the Netherlands, for the royal family, as shown in the
original flag.
Perhaps the most popular association with orange is when the leaves on trees turn orange as summer comes
to an end, passing its reign to autumn. In the middle of autumn in the United States, orange and black
represent the colors of Halloween, symbolizing the night, its doom and darkness. Is this a coincidence that
Halloween is also associated with orange in autumn?
In architecture, orange is thought of as a social color that will encourage lively conversations at home. Thus,
experts have recommended orange for the living room, dining/kitchen, as it will stimulate enthusiasm and
creativity. Feng Shui recognizes orange as a power color for healing as it is more explosive then red, both are
fire elements.
