Orange, the blend of red and yellow, is a mixture of the energy associated with red and the happiness associated with yellow.
Orange is associated with meanings of joy, warmth, sunshine, enthusiasm, success, encouragement, change, determination,
health, stimulation, happiness, fun, enjoyment, balance, sexuality, freedom, expression, and fascination.
Orange is the color of joy and creativity. Orange promotes a sense of general wellness and emotional energy that should be shared,
such as compassion, passion, and warmth. Orange will help a person recover from disappointments,
a wounded heart, or a blow to one’s pride.
The meaning of the color orange is stimulating, vibrant, and flamboyant. While made up of red and yellow, it carries less aggression and fierceness than the color red due to its combination with the calming color yellow.
Studies show that the orange color can create physical effects such as increased hunger, heightened sense of activity, increased socialization, boost in aspiration, stimulated mental activity, increased oxygen supply to the brain, increased contentment, and enhanced assurance. Orange also helps aid decision making, and enhances happiness, confidence, and understanding.
The color orange has very high visibility and is often used to gain attention.
It still gets your message noticed without the bold
in-your-face presence that the color red has.
Additional words that represent different shades, tints, and values of the orange color: fire, gold, copper, flame, mandarin, tangerine.
Orange when combined with yellow conjures up feelings of heat and fire, as well as fresh fruit. When combined with the color green,
the colors elicit feelings of adventure and tropical destinations.
Too much orange causes self-centered and self-serving qualities, including pride, arrogance, and lack of care for others.
Too little orange causes loss of motivation, lower self-esteem, and loneliness.
Different shades of orange have different meanings.
For example, dark orange may represent deceit and distrust, while red-orange relates
to passion, pleasure, desire, aggression, domination, and action. Golden orange often stands for prestige, wisdom, illumination, wealth,
and quality. A light orange or peach color tend to be more friendly and soothing.
Orange symbolizes energy, vitality, cheer, excitement, adventure, warmth, and good health. However, pure orange can be brass; however,
it may suggest a lack of serious intellectual values and bad taste.
Orange is currently a trendy, hip color. It was a “groovy color” back in the 70s and then it faded away. In 1991, an article in Forbes magazine about how orange affects consumer choices concluded that orange meant cheap.
(Note: “Cheap” in this case meant a good buy for the money.)
Heat, warming, global warming, hot, fire burning
A gradual increase in the total temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, which is generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs and other pollutants.
According to NASA's definition, climate change is "a wide range of global phenomena created mainly by the combustion of fossil fuels,
which add heat-trapping gases to the Earth's atmosphere." These phenomena include increased temperature trends described by global warming, but also include changes such as sea level rise; loss of ice in Greenland, Antarctica, Arctic and mountain glaciers around the world;
flowering changes of flowers / plants; extreme weather events and the measurement of animal species. "
