WHY ORANGE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR

Even though I decorate my home with a peaceful palette of pale greens and tend to wear black and chocolate brown and other dark and dusty colors like forest green and eggplant purple, it's orange that is my favorite color. Orange with its bright unexpected blast of color, orange that brightens a day immediately like an adrenaline shot of sunshine, orange that makes you smile and lifts your mood and shines out with a reverberating vibe of energy.

It's the color of pumpkins and Japanese lanterns and clementines and salmon nigiri. It's tiger halves and tabby cats, tiger lilies, monarch butterflies and koi. It's redheads and marigolds, late summer poppies and autumn leaves and bonfire flames.

Orange you glad you stopped by?
