Orange

I really like this use of colour. I think orange should just be by itself, not even with black, just white. It's bold but at the same time not in your face,. It's also a very appropriate colour to use for a product that is designed to give a boost of energy etc.

Again computer wise, I feel like orange can be pretty in your face and uninviting. These icons don't do anything for me. I'd prefer a more calming colour.

This is a use of orange I have looked at so many times but have never consciously thought about. i love the presence of pale orange in a sky scape. It is complimented perfectly by the light blues. Pale orange I find calming...

No a big fan of orange used in strange computer generated drawings. Especially not with muddy colours all around it.

Orange in nature I'm ok with... the flowers somehow seem to be warning me about something! They look like flowering beacons.

Interior/architecture wise I'm getting a bit over the stark modern use of orange as a highlight colour. I prefer more rustic approaches like the one above. It looks vivid but not overbearing.


I'm having mixed feelings about the colour orange at the moment... see above comments on various ways the colour is used... Personally I think it looks best used in its most natural state... in an orange! The coloured fruit reminds me of summer and freshness.
