Orange
Orange
lies mid way between red and yellow. The word comes from the Arabic word narange meaning
orange, and before the arrival of the fruit there was no European
word for orange, the closest being tan gold and tawny. And you’ve never seen an orange owl have you?

"Orange mmm.
Well I like it but to be honest I wouldn’t use too much of it on
large areas, a little here and there goes a long way. Too
stimulating for me. Great
used in kitchens dining areas and
playrooms."
But softened into the peach tones it’s easy to use. As
are all the pastel shades. The browns and terra cottas are in here
too of course and then there’s copper bronze and gold.

The stronger shades, great again in studies and dens, the pastels anywhere
really. spice them up with splashes of hot and bright, keep them serene with cool
creams and sweeten with the contrasting pastels.
You never
hear any negative associations with orange. No orange in the face,
or orange with envy. Orange is considered a joyful colour and one
that enlivens.

"I once
hennaed my hair after a bad perm and it turned bright orange before
turning into matted straw and having to be cut into the wood." |
"Sorry
that’s the best I can do at the minute. Can you help?"
