Orange You Glad It's Summer?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I love the color orange. I have an orange (it's really Tomato Bisque) kitchen, an orange coffee table and I just bought a great new orange sweater today. It's a fairly neglected color - you never hear anyone say their favorite color is orange. But I love the meaning of orange (according to about.com): Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.

If you want to get noticed without screaming, consider the color orange — it demands attention.

Orange is often called the "social" color, as it creates the feng shui energy to promote lively conversations and good times.

Live an orange life...
