Shades of Orange

 Year 8-Day 296: Today, I am grateful for shades of orange.

Orange is the color of joy and creativity. It promotes a sense of general wellness.

The trees are full of shades of orange... and so are the pumpkin fields. Orange is one of my favorites because of its many fun shades. From subtle cantaloupe to mac-n-cheese, orange makes us think of sunny days and fall foliage. 

We had a rust orange carpet in our first house that was not my favorite. It was too much orange everywhere... and it was shag. We replaced it with a peach carpet in the bedroom, a trendy shade that was popular at the time. I guess we didn't move completely away from orange after all.

Bright orange is perfect for pops of color room full of neutrals. The tropical version makes my soul sing. Orange that leans heavily into the yellows is mood elevating. 

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:" -Ecclesiastes 3:1

Every color has its season, too. Fall if full of shades of orange. Which is your favorite? 

Today, I am grateful for shades of orange.
