Inspiration in Orange: The FYC Edition
Once upon a time, like last week, a series of inspirational experiments was relaunched here on FYC to work out if the source that inspires us through the use of a predominant color, can steer our creative output in the same direction as elements associated with that color. It began with Inspiration in Red: FYC Edition. And since the wheel of colors keeps on turning, we felt we would keep the series rolling on…

So welcome back to the FYC edition of the popular Inspiration in Color series. Once again this series of posts focuses on images that are made up of a primarily, or at least predominantly, singular selected color. As we move down inspirational spectrum, this week lands us on the color orange. Inspiration in Orange: The FYC Edition, features another awesome collection of imaginative and emotive works from all around the design world with two distinct purposes. The first, of course, is to inspire you, but also to see whether or not that inspiration tends to manifest elements that are associated with the color of choice. Happiness, energy, balance, enthusiasm, flamboyance, playfulness, arrogance, warning, danger, are generally associated with the color orange. Who knows where this inspiration will take you, but you will be the only one that can tell…

So now the ball is in your court. If you have found yourself inspired by this series then by all means, please submit the end results of those inspirations to the FYC Flickr Group, and simply tag them ‘fycincolor’. Regardless of if you want to show us the work you created, we would love to hear your thoughts on this experimental inspirational process, so let your thoughts flow in the comment section below.

Thanks, Noel, I agree, that is pretty cool. I’d love to have one!
seeing and feeling oranges only
Agree that orange is the color of happiness, energy, balance, enthusiasm, flamboyance, playfulness, arrogance, warning, danger and after having a look at your article I would say that you’ve got a great collection of pictures with orange color. For as of now, I associated orange as a color of sport, that inspires one’s spirit of passion. Because by seeing orange color I feel lively.
Wow, LA web design, your comment was inspiring! Great description of the color orange. This is a great post – and a great title. Thanks for sharing!
great collection. very nice color Rob. Thanks
I love these posts. The inspiration in red was amazing, and this was a perfect follow up. I’d love to see the same concept in other color schemes.
