It is a color on the edge &#8211; on the threshold &#8211; of change.  Orange transports us from the hot dog days (not hotdog days) of summer to the fragrant first oranges and mandarins of the fall.<br \/>\nOrange is the color of October sunsets, and it evokes images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and together with the color Black, Halloween.<br \/>\nOrange &#8211; a mixture of red and yellow &#8211; is a brilliant and dazzling color.
