Ask anyone to name the color of a sunset and invariably the answer is
"orange." The meaning of orange is inexorably linked to the
sensations of radiant energy, heat and the glowing presence of the setting
sun. The link between red and yellow, orange takes its traits from both.
It is less passionate and intense than red, incorporating the sunny disposition
of yellow.
The brightest tones of orange are seen as gregarious, fun-loving, high-energy.
Cool orange simply does not exist. Everything about orange is luminous
and hot. It is perceived as the hottest of all colors even more so than
red because it takes its heat from two radiant sources, yellow and red.
