It’s time to talk about color again and orange is one of my favorites. It is a high energy color which seems to radiate a glow that is sure to grab attention. Like most colors, there is probably a shade of orange for everyone if you include the full spectrum, from the yellowish orange to the reddish orange. Tints of orange such as melon or tangerine look great on some while others look fabulous in the more saturated colors. Shades and tints of orange make great lingerie colors as they often flatter the skin in low light. Swimwear and workout clothing are are often splashed with orange because of the high energy associated with the color.

Avoid the combination of black and orange unless it is in a print with other colors or if brown and yellow are included like cheetahs and leopards and tigers, oh my. That is of course unless it is Halloween. A great combination with orange is pink or fuscia. Try NOT to feel good when these colors surround you. Even lipstick is stepped up a notch this spring with its vivid oranges that are off the charts but are a tempting alternative to the new reds. So if your mood needs a little pick-me-up, be daring and let orange come to the rescue!
