The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Orange.
In Western cultures, orange symbolizes enthusiasm and creativity, often linked to autumn and harvest festivals. In contrast, in some Eastern cultures, it is seen as a sacred color, representing spirituality and auspiciousness, particularly in Hinduism.
The term 'orange' was first recorded in English in the 14th century, derived from the Old French 'orenge', which came from the Arabic 'nāranj', itself tracing back to the Persian 'nāranj'. It wasn't until the 16th century that the fruit and the color became widely recognized and linked.
