Orange is the color of JOY and CREATIVITY;

Orange helps a person recover from disappointments, a wounded heart, or a blow to one’s pride.
Studies show that the Orange color can create physical effects such as heightened sense of activity, increased socialization, boost in aspiration, stimulated mental activity, increased oxygen supply to the brain, increased contentment, and enhanced assurance.
Orange also helps aid decision making, and enhances happiness, confidence, and understanding.
Everything associated with the complexities
of black femininity!
