Orange reminds me of fall with the changing of the color of the leaves on the trees here in New England and with Halloween and its traditions on the way. It is and has been my favorite color for years now. It relaxes me and makes me feel alive and well.
Chow!!

In English heraldry, orange denotes strength, honour, generosity, and prosperity. However, its use as a heraldic tincture is relatively rare.
Orange is the national colour of The Netherlands, because its royal family used to own the principality of Orange (the title is still used for Dutch heir apparent). It is the colour of choice for many of the national sports teams and their supporters. The nickname of the Dutch national soccer (football) team is Oranje, the Dutch word for orange. In the modern flag of the Netherlands, red substitutes the original orange, but on royal birthdays the flag has an additional orange banner. Most geographical usages of the word orange can be traced back to Dutch maritime power in the 17th century. In Ireland the use of orange dates from the reign of William of Orange, the Protestant English king and a Dutch stadholder.
Orange signifies Protestantism in Northern Ireland (see Orange Order), and to a lesser extent in the Republic of Ireland (the orange part of whose flag represents the Protestant population) and Hinduism in India and Sri Lanka.
Orange has become a colour symbolising opposition around the world.
Orange was the rallying colour of the 2004–2005 Orange Revolution in Ukraine.
Orange is used as a rallying colour by Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip who oppose the Gaza Pull-Out plan
