More than a color to a TN Volunteer fan like myself, it’s important that I have an extra special post on the color! As a toddling TN fan, the color orange was pretty much instilled into me as the best color ever created!

Okay, okay. I’ll get back on topic. Though it is true that Orange remains my favorite color. Though a derivative of red, it’s not usually associated with anger and hostility, but rather promotes creativity, sunshine and health.

 

Orange is notably used in marketing campaigns for companies such as Cingular, and I chose to use the color for my design firm www.paige1media.com. Fun and vibrant, orange is also found in nature in tiger lillies and several citrus fruits.

 

Found in fall alongside the burgandy red, burnt orange is found in turning leaves, ripening  pumpkins and sunsets.

 

Complimentary color: Blue
