Orange: Or how the fruit leads to spiritual elevation

Between Red and Yellow on the color wheel, a sacred color in India, vibrant, radiant, oscillating between russet, carrot, apricot, peach, saffron or even the glow of an incandescent flame, Orange is undoubtedly a warm and lively color.

Its name comes to us through the fruit, introduced in the 13th century. It only came to designate the color in the 16th century. During the Western Middle Ages, the color was associated with witchcraft, reflecting the imagery evoked by red hair. In the East, it takes on a more spiritual and positive dimension, where in Buddhism it symbolizes the second chakra, the chakra of vitality. It is also the color of the traditional robes of Tibetan monks.
