Orange colors stir-up more controversy than any other color.
Hues of orange are often associated with Halloween and fall and the changing of
the seasons. But in many cultures orange is considered to be a "joyous color",
representing the aspect of happiness, which lifts ones spirits and stimulates
both the man wearing it, as well as the casual observer.
Orange is a extremely vibrant color that demands attention. It's
associated with oranges, joy, sunshine, and the Hawaiian tropics, and
represents intense and eager enjoyment, fascination, joy, creativity and
determination. Garments such as orange Hawaiian shirts are a good example of
combining all of those aspects into a wearable garment. Colors such as black, delft
blue, cream or ivory, and denims match up well with orange.
It's interesting that Halloween is associated with the color orange because outside of carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, the color really doesn't have much of a connection with the yearly celebration. We had mentioned that orange is symbolic of the tropics, but what we should have added is that comparison if further re-enforced when something like a shirt is teamed with foliage and a flock of parrots.
