The colour orange

“The orange heart emoji is associated with joy, warmth, heat, sunshine, enthusiasm”

Until a few months ago, my favourite colours were dark and dramatic… my wardrobe is filled with black, purple and the occasional red.  I wore skinny jeans with skull covered T-shirts and hoodies.  My house is filled with neutral tones….  Then suddenly, I became drawn to bright colours.  I bought some brightly coloured harem trousers, a predominantly orange mandela duvet cover.  I started Pinterest boards devoted to boho fashion and rooms.  I have become drawn to the colour orange.

I see the colour orange as a warm colour signifying a deeply caring, soft yet strong love.  For me, it is the colour of metta / loving kindness.

I want to research the psychology of colour more.  I am interested in your views…. How do you see colour?  What do your favourite colours say about you?What do they signify for you?  Post comments below…

  1. I have been thinking about your words for a couple of days.

    If you haven’t sat among the Rothko paintings at Tate Modern, then I hope you can do this soon – it is an amazing feeling.

    Also, as my eyes have got worse (with age I suppose) the power of colour has changed but the importance of music & the spoken word has increased. I will PM you with a podcast that may be in the right space for you & may help the colours to shine/sooth/re-energise you.

  2. I will come and visit you and we will sit among the paintings 🙂
    I have just subscribed to the podcast so I will start listening on my walks. I have been noticing lately how much the music I listen to affects my mood…

    My eyes are changing too… reading and sewing are much more challenging. Necessitates lots of spectacle juggling 🙂

    Thank you for your comment!
