Orange you glad I didn't say...?

What is color? The appearance of objects or light sources described in terms of the individual's perception of them. Out of the many vibrations reaching the earth a tiny octave is registered by the optic nerves. Our eyes respond to these particular vibrations with a reaction that we know as color. Science has proven that different colors have definite and various effects upon our nervous system and that they act quite independently of our eyes or minds. They have more influence on us then we can possibly imagine. If we use them intelligently they can help us by strengthening, soothing and inspiring us.

ORANGE is the second color in the spectrum. It is associated with the Sun, and has also a warming and invigorating effect. But whereas red is stimulating to the body and the blood, orange is stimulating to the emotions. It is also considered the color of the brave. It should be avoided by extremely emotional types of people, who acquire balance through its complimentary color, Blue. Its musical note is D. Melodies in that key often have emotional appeal. The metal associated with the Sun is Gold.
