Ask anyone to name the color of a sunset and invariably the answer is "orange." The meaning of orange is inexorably linked to the sensations of radiant energy, heat and the glowing presence of the setting sun. The link between red and yellow, orange takes its traits from both. It is less passionate and intense than red, incorporating the sunny disposition of yellow.
The brightest tones of orange are seen as gregarious, fun-loving, high-energy. Cool orange simply does not exist. Everything about orange is luminous and hot. It is perceived as the hottest of all colors even more so than red because it takes its heat from two radiant sources, yellow and red.
From the above description of the color orange from the Pantone website, orange is a pretty amazing color! Again, I had some fun taking pictures of orange things in my house.
