Driving back from Chicago, the GPS routed us through Indianapolis versus taking the construction-laden I-465 beltway. The sky was gray, a little bit of drizzle going on, and my butt was getting numb from sitting. I was fidgeting. An hour and a half 'til we got home. I looked out my passenger side window and a little sliver of orange sun peeked through the clouds. As we got closer to Indy, the clouds lifted from the horizon and a full fledged, great ball of orange fire sunset lit up the sky, and reflected off all the western facing windows. Quite the light show.
My fidgety mind started thinking about orange.
Where can we find the meaning of the color orange?
In the bright orange from the crackling campfire or in the muted orange from the fall foliage.
We can find it in a soothing sunset or in this case, a very vibrant one.
It’s associated with danger and warning, as in the orange construction barrels or road signage.
It’s a color of change, movement, and transformation, as seen in nature, sunsets, vegetables, and fire.
The color orange is strongly associated with tropical landscapes and summer, yet it is the color of harvest and fall.
It is the color of Halloween, pumpkins, and cozy weather.
Orange is more than a color, it is a fruit. And because of that, it conveys health and vitality too. Orange is associated with the refreshing taste of citrus, Vitamin C, and healthy eating.
People also commonly describe the color orange as bright, happy, and joyful.
Orange, the second color in the rainbow, is sandwiched in between red and yellow. Orange is happy, joyful, and enthusiastic like yellow, but it also is a physically stimulating color full of energy like red.
An hour on I-70 quickly passed with these orange centric thoughts and now it's time to share. "Orange" you glad?
