Color Palette: Outstanding Orange

If you’ve visited the blog before, you know I love exploring color! Color is powerful. It’s expressive. Today, is all about orange. It’s a bright, stand out color. It does a really good job of making other colors pop, like a best supporting actor might. Orange is associated with joy, enthusiasm, creativity, and determination. It’s also the signature color for fall, which is my favorite season.

Orange is the happiest color.
— Frank Sinatra

I hope you enjoy this collection of Outstanding Orange color palettes.
