Orange is a highly energetic warm color associated with enthusiasm, spontaneity, and quick-wittedness. Orange is energizing and motivational. It connotes good-natured sociability encouraging open channels of communication and freedom of expression. It stimulates both the development of ideas and taking action. It implies movement. Its strong association with autumn makes it a color of transitions. Sometimes it is linked with memory. Like yellow, it can be associated with gold and may connote material wealth, prosperity, and generosity. For better and for worse it is often associated with pride.

    The color-bar is golden-orange on my monitor, not the straight color of orange fruit.
    Free association: royalty, infinite depth, warmth, having enough, creaminess.
