Orange

Recently I have been drawn to all things orange, which is quite unusual because normally I do not care for orange at all. 

Orange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger "love it" or "hate it" response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy. Interestingly, some of the tones of orange such as terra cotta, peach and rust have a very broad appeal. Orange is known to stimulate activity as well as appetite and also encourages socialization. I think that Orange can be unexpected, and when used properly it can energize a room (without overwhelming it).
