Shades of Orange


The “IT" color for 2014 is Orange!  Orange is a primary color. Think of oranges, fresh cut peaches, tangerines, candy corn, even Halloween. When I think about the color orange, I think about my nephew when he was learning to pronounce the word. He sounded out every syllable. It went l like this O-ran-ge.  I still get tickled at this memory.  

The color orange and it’s vibrancy sparks so many positive memories for me.  Like the time my older brother and I survived an eight hour drive from Florida with my Grandparents with only ORANGES to EAT!  My grandfather refused to stop for more than anything than but gas.  God rest his soul but that man was stubborn. Good thing we stocked up on oranges and grapefruit from uncle’s house.  I had eaten so many oranges that day I broke out in a rash.  Grandparents = Good Times!

How to Incorporate Orange in your life

Coral is a great color to wear for a lunch date. It is softer and more feminine than bright orange.  Your date will perceive you as open and friendly. He will think you have an adventurous spirit and be more talkative with you throughout the date. 

Are you a project manager? Try sitting a bowl of oranges on the table at your next brainstorming meeting.  It generates creativity and conversation. The next “Big Idea” could be attributing to oranges.


Wear bright neon orange to your next workout. Orange inspires competition and physical confidence. Go ahead shake you bum bum at your next Zumba class with those bright orange pants you saw at Target.

Burn orange scented candles throughout your house to chase the blues away.  On those cloudy days open the windows, light the candles, and dance to your heart’s content.
