Color Your World

Styled and Written by Sharon Hatten

Orange is cheerful, reminiscent of the bright rays of the sun or sweet citrus fruit. If the book had been titled “50 Shades of Orange,” I might have read it.


Green just might be the new black. Or so says Pantone, which named emerald green as the color of 2013. Of course, I also believe 40 is the new 20. Anyway, both offer the promise of renewal.


Blue is known for its calming effect, and for that reason alone we could all use more blue and less caffeine. But what fun would that be?
