why do we use the colors orange and black???

Answer 1

Well technically black is not a color. It's the absence of light. I do like it though.

Answer 2

Even the orange and black colors of Halloween have a pagan origin. At the Druid Festival for Samhain, huge bon fires were used for offering sacrifices. So the colors of the night were orange flames glowing in the dark. Trick-or-treating might have found it's origin in the custom of peasants going house to house begging for money to purchase necessities for a feast.
