What kind of emotions should a rich orange invoke in a room?

AzeriBoy-McCain Palin ‘08!! asked:


Like green is relaxing, blue is calming, etc. What about orange? A nice dark (but not too dark) rich orange that’s contrasted by white molding.

    Rooms don’t feel emotions. heeheehee.

    ok seriously, Orange calls to mind feelings of excitement, enthusiasm, and warmth.

    Orange is an action color. Fast food restaurants and diners user red and orange decor to get you out there fast.

    A play room, or a family room can work with Orange, but I’d leave it out of the bedrooms and kitchen.

    Orange is a bright, exciting color.
    If you use it in a bedroom; you should add some cool tones, like turquoise, jade green, or sky blue.

    -basic orange is the color of energy and motion:oranges, carrots,tangerines.
    -if you use a muted and rich brownish orange it can have a spicy,warm,earthy and somewhat exotic feel: cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, terra cotta clay.
    -if you use a bold reddish orange, it evokes feelings of passion and heat: tomato, chili peppers, persimmons.
    -if you use a pastel peachy orange, it evokes feelings of playfulness and sweetness: creamsicles, peaches, cantaloupe flesh.
    -if you use a bright yellowish orange, it evokes feelings of cheerfulnes and warmth: black-eyed susans, grapefruit, schoolbus.
