Orange

I love orange.  It is my absolute favorite color.  The best is a warm peachy orange, like a beautiful sunset.  But I like burnt orange and brick orange and a pumpkin spice type of orange.  I love orange.  Definitely my favorite.  And I don't hear other people say that too often.  I wonder why.  It is such a warm, lovely color. 

Anyway, today's You Capture is Orange.  I had to join in. 
Photobucket

My house is bathed in orange.  From my bedroom wall (a reddish orange):
To my dining room (a pumpkin spice type of orange):
Hmm.  Me thinks I need more wine.
My pendant lights in the kitchen:
Flowers on my table:
And of course my Halloween decorations:
They are everywhere.
Even my cookie jar has an orange ribbon on it.
The boys get special themed cups for the Halloween season, and of course, they are orange.
Let's not forget the orange outside the house.  I am still getting tons of tomatoes off of my plant and they are a brilliant orange.
And our family of pumpkins resides outside of our front door.
And one of the most beautiful oranges:

Now come on!  See how beautiful orange is?  It has GOT to be one of your favorite colors now.  How can it not be?  What other color could possible top this?

  2. Me too! Orange has always been my favorite color, although I haven't been brave enough to paint a wall in it .... yet. Your rooms make me want to go pick up some paint right now - they're beautiful:)

  7. Mom24- I'm sorry I don't have the paint color but I know it is Sherwin Williams. The dining room color is a bit lighter than it looks in the picture and the bedroom wall is a bit darker than the pic.

    Marybeth- I was nervous to do such a bold color too so we just did one wall in our bedroom orange and the others cream, then it doesn't seem like too much. I figured I could do the dining room a bold color because it is a room that we are not in constantly so if we weren't HUGE fans of it we could deal with it until we got the energy up to paint again. ;)

    Kelly- Orange hair?!? Dear lord I hope it doesn't look orange. That reminds me of a clown, and I'm terrified of clowns. (my hair sometimes has a reddish tint in pics but it really is just plain old brown). ;)

    Hilary- Well, I tried. ;)

    Green Girl- Yes, yes I do. :)

    Loukia- Yeah for orange! :)

  10. Orange is so beautiful, I love the darker reddish oranges myself...but green is still my favorite color. :) Fall involves all my favorite colors, orange, dark red, green, brown, all the earthy warm tones...which is why fall is my favorite season of all!!

  11. My mom's favorite color is Orange. Growing up I always wondered how that could be someone's favorite. Now I totally get it! I love all colors, but orange is definitely a contender for my favorite. I really can't choose just one!

  22. Those are great images, Kat. Funny you should mention orange ... I posted a shot called "Tangerine Dawn" a few days ago that would have been perfect for this theme!
