Color affects us all in many ways from what we wear to the food we eat. Orange is famously known for stimulating the appetite and so it’s no wonder it’s used in restaurant and food branding, but it also stimulates our creativity, the social butterfly in all of us and our enthusiasm.

Surrounding yourself with orange could boost your productivity and energy, while feeding our creativity and playfulness and ability to look on the bright side of life.

Naturally occurring orange foods are packed with carotenoids, which famously benefit your vision, but they also boost immunity and can help prevent cancer and there are lots of ways here to enjoy those benefits.

**ORANGE TONES: CLOTHING**

I have always loved monarch butterflies and their journey and wanted to incorporate them into my orange portrait. Here’s more about wearing orange from around the world.
While wearing orange you can enjoy positive energy and increased vibrancy. Wearing orange is not only eye catching, but also represents high energy and positive attitudes.
In modern western culture orange is considered so eye catching it is frequently worn by inmates in the prison system.
In Japanese and Chinese cultures, orange represents good health, happiness and love. Oranges are frequently used to ring in Lunar New Year, because of their color symbolizes luck, wealth and posperity. In India orange is a lucky and sacred color, valued because of the much prized saffron, a rare herb. In the Ukraine it signifies bravery and power. And over in the Netherlands, it symbolizes wealth and power, because it is the country’s national color and the color of the Dutch Royal Family. While in some Middle Eastern countries, orange is the color of mourning.
Understanding what colors mean in other cultures can help us to connect to our increasingly global world.
