It is because of the time of year and religion. Fall...harvest color...orange. Halloween was originally called, "All Hallow's Eve" after the Catholic vigil of "All Saints' Day" and "All Souls' Day" (Nov 1, 2). Black is for repentence.

Orange and black are the colors of Halloween because orange is associated with the fall harvest and black is the color of darkness.
