If asked my favorite color, the answer would be purple. If asked my least favorite color, the answer would be orange. Did you know that originally carrots weren't orange? They were commonly purple. It was in the 17th century when Dutch growers are said to have cultivated orange carrots as a tribute to William of Orange, who led the struggle for Dutch independence. Years back we had orange life jackets, but don't remember ever wearing orange clothes. Just do not gravitate to the color.
Mother Nature would disagree with me, cuz She colored many of her creations with Her orange paints.....cantaloupe, fire flames, carrots, sweet potatoes, goldfish, butternut squash, monarch butterflies, tigers, orioles, oranges, tiger lilies, maple leaves, marigolds, goose beaks, clown fish, pumpkins, orange tabby cats, peaches, apricots, tangerines, egg yolks, to name a few.
Then there are prisoner's coveralls, traffic cones, traffic warning signs, the #5 plain orange billiard ball and the striped orange #13 billiard ball. Deer hunters wear bright orange vests for safety reasons.
Interesting that the Blogger logo is orange.
Yet another commonality. My least favorite color is orange. Just ask my family. I can tolerate it in autumn. My favorite is purple. Have we talked about this? We must have somewhere along the line.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Tall Cottage.......you gotta be kidding......this is eerie that our likenesses extend to our seventh decade. Don't remember chatting about colors, but perhaps we did. Awwww, this is really neat.
