And a bit more about colour.....

The Meaning of Colors
Medical science has proven that different colors have definite and various effects upon our nervous system and that they act quite independently of our eyes or minds. All matter emits vibrations. A human being also radiates subtle emanations of everything of which he is composed. A person with extra sensitive sight is able to see the colours of these rays known as a person's aura. Colours are of the deepest significance to us throughout all phases of our life. They have more influence on us then we can possibly imagine. If we use them intelligently, they can help us by strengthening, soothing, and inspiring us. Dark, drab and dingy colors can harm our spirits and health. Strong bright colours may bring out the best in us, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

ORANGE.

Positive: Physical comfort, food, warmth, security, sensuality, passion, abundance, fun.

Negative: Deprivation, frustration, frivolity, immaturity.

Since it is a combination of red and yellow, orange is stimulating and reaction to it is a combination of the physical and the emotional. It focuses our minds on issues of physical comfort - food, warmth, shelter etc. - and sensuality. It is a 'fun' colour. Negatively, it might focus on the exact opposite - deprivation. This is particularly likely when warm orange is used with black. Equally, too much orange suggests frivolity and a lack of serious intellectual values.

Orange is made up of red and yellow. On the one hand it has the physical stimulation of red and on the other the mental stimulation of yellow.
Orange is a very creative colour. It is also an anti-depressant and stimulates conversation. Most people do not like orange in their environment, although it may be just the colour they need. If this is the case, the customer should find a tone of orange which is acceptable. Rust, terracotta, amber, peach or apricot all have an orange glow and will reflect the positive and lively qualities of this colour.
Orange has a strong and beneficial effect on the digestive system, so makes a good colour for a dining room or restaurant. Candles glowing in an orange or yellow room makes one feel warm, secure and cosy.
