CURLED, PEELED and DELIVERED… ORANGE

THAT time of year again soon!

The oranges at their best.

An orange peel, intact…

Orange is the colour between yellow and red on the spectrum of visible light.

In painting and traditional colour theory, it is a secondary colour of pigments, created by mixing red and yellow.

It is named after the fruit of the same name.

The orange colour of carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, oranges, and many other fruits and vegetables comes from carotenes, a type of photosynthetic pigment.

These pigments convert the light energy that the plants absorb from the sun into chemical energy for the plants' growth.

Similarly the hues of autumn leaves are from the same pigment after chlorophyll is removed.

In Europe and America, surveys show that orange is the colour most associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, warmth, fire, energy, activity, danger, taste and aroma, the autumn and Allhallowtide seasons.

In Asia it is an important symbolic colour of Buddhism and Hinduism.
