Burnt Orange Color 123 - #CC5500

The colour orange takes its name from the orange fruit. On the spectrum of light, and in the traditional colour wheel used by painters, it is located between red and yellow. In Europe and America, orange is commonly associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, fire, activity, danger, taste and aroma, the autumn season, and Protestantism. In Asia, it is an important symbolic colour of Buddhism and Hinduism.

The color orange is named after the appearance of the ripe orange fruit. The word comes from the Old French orenge, from the old term for the fruit, pomme d'orenge. That name comes from the Arabic naranj, through the Persian naranj, derived from the sanskrit naranga. Before this word was introduced to the English-speaking world, the color was referred to as g.eolure-ad (yellow-red). The first recorded use of orange as a color name in English was in 1512, in a will now filed with the Public Record Office.
