Orange Confessions

To those who only know or see me as an orange-fanatic it may come as a surprise that I love other colours, too. And that the sunflower yellow I treasure much more than orange. And then there's the strong red that I love - and sometimes wear, yes! - and so, probably with the desire to not be unfair to any of these, I combined them into the weakness for orange.

What's wrong with it? The Buddhist monks wear it with pride and dignity. The butterflies harbour it in the air. The marigolds brighten up the flower beds. The Dutch identify with it officially.

It's bright and healthy and bold and warm. Yes, I think that's what I like most about it - the warmth. The passion of red tempered down by the strength of the sunshine.
