Color Holiday Blues Shades of Orange
This post is an update to one I wrote in 2006 about the “Holiday Blues.” Around this time of year do you get the Holiday Blues? Think orange. On the color wheel, orange is the opposite of blue. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, stimulates mental activity and produces an invigorating effect. Orange includes the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. Orange is associated with sunshine and joy. It represents enthusiasm, happiness, fascination, creativity, determination, attraction, encouragement, stimulation and success. Orange is symbolic of endurance and strength. It’s the color of basketballs, carrots, yams, pumpkin pie and oranges. And don’t forget the Orange Bowl football game. This Hanukkah or Christmas, turn your holidays orange or any color but blue. Here are some tips for you.
