In a previous post, Color-ful, we began a discussion on “color psychology,” and started with the color RED. Now we are looking at the next color, ORANGE…

Associations: Fun, organic, ambition, and a newness in attitude.

Effects: Relieves self-pity, acting as an anti-depressant; also can help to increase an openness of emotion.

Physical Effects:  Stimulates sex organs and the digestive system, and can also strengthen the immune system.

Uses: Often used in health products such as holistic remedies, and immune boosting products like Emergen-C.

When to Wear: When you are embarking on a high energy day or new season in life–such as a hike or a first date.

Applying to Your Home: Great color to add to your kitchen, as this should be a center of health and energy throughout your day. Small quantities within the bedroom can create a friendly environment as well.

Be conscious not to overwhelm with bright orange, as society equates it with incarceration.
