Significance of Orange in One’s Personality

Someone with orange as their favorite color is believed to be optimistic, flamboyant, and extrovert. Such people are always on the move and are great at socializing, being the life of any gathering. They are generous, contented in helping and inspiring others. Energetic and risk-takers, they love adventure sports and would not think twice before doing anything challenging.

However, if one is over-obsessed with orange, he could be too free-spirited, resulting in a commitment-phobic attitude and lack of loyalty in his relationships. Their gregarious nature could often cause them to show off and exaggerate. Such people are often detached from mundane aspects of daily life, showing impatience particularly when under stress.
