The next color in our psychological series is orange. Orange has a very energetic effect in all ways. It is in no way a negative color psychologically, except that its powerful effect can be a little overwhelming at times.

Orange is the “happy” color. There is nothing calm about it in the slightest. People tend to have a more energetic or lighter mood when in an orange room. They also can feel more ambitious.

Orange itself is not heavily used in clothing or interior decoration, primarily because an abundance of orange can cause people to be slightly annoyed. However, the color peach, which is in fact just a very light shade of orange, is very popular as it has the effect of lightening the mood but it is not overpowering.

All in all, orange is a very happy color, but not one that is very common.
