I am a PINK & GREY lover before this - huge fan of PINK I must admit - everything that comes in pink will be eye catching for me - luckily I don't fancy guy with PINK shirt *sigh*. But it seems that since few years ago the color has become a trend and everyone (not entirely everyone but mostly) started going crazy about it. So to say, almost every corner I go - pink there is! So, I always want to be different than other and naturally - I will change my pattern when I sense someone is shadowing me. Last year I started to switch slowly to Orange (mostly) and also Red (....like bloody red). But still pink is easily to be found around me still - the effect from many² years of PINK collection. Not easy to completely get rid of that color from my life, it has been my color for many² years - since I was really young, at the age of six! probably even since born - that will have to ask my mommy.
Guys, since we are talking about color - let's find out some fact about it.
Orange color occurs between red and yellow... for more read this info I copied from wikipedia:
The colour orange occurs between red and yellow in the visible spectrum at a wavelength of about 585–620 nm, and has a hue of 30° in HSV colour space. It is numerically halfway between red and yellow in a gamma-compressed RGB colour space, the expression of which is the RGB colour wheel. The complementary colour of orange is blue. Orange pigments are largely in the ochre or cadmium families, and absorb mostly blue light.
For our general knowledge enhancement, here I pick up some information about orange (not as color but as fruit) for our reading pleasure.
An orange—specifically, the sweet orange—is the citrus Citrus × sinensis (Citrus Sinensis (L.) Osbeck) and its fruit.[2] The orange is a hybrid of ancient cultivated origin, possibly between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata).[3] It is an evergreen flowering tree generally growing to 9-10 m in height (although very old speciments have reached 15 m).[4] The leaves are arranged alternately, are ovate in shape with crenulate margins and are 4–10 cm long.[5] The orange fruit is a hesperidium, a type of berry.[6]
Orange trees are widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates for the delicious sweet fruit, which is peeled or cut (to avoid the bitter rind) and eaten whole, or processed to extract orange juice, and also for the fragrant peel.[7] In 2008, 68.5 million tons of oranges were grown worldwide, primarily in Brazil and the State of Florida in the US.[8]
Oranges probably originated in Southeast Asia[9] and were cultivated in China by 2500 BC. The fruit of Citrus sinensis is called sweet orange to distinguish it fromCitrus aurantium, the bitter orange. The name is thought to ultimately derive from the Sanskrit[10] for the orange tree, with its final form developing after passing through numerous intermediate languages.
It's great that I now having this blog - I get to pump up my engine every morning - thinking of what inspires me and blog about it. For orange - this color is giving me similar strength as RED - bloody daring, energetic and powerful!
