In some parts of the world the leaves are starting to turn that gorgeous burnished orange of autumn and in others the Sun is starting to amp up again after a cold winter. Orange can be the warmth and comfort of a roaring fire and the bright sunshine of a day at the beach. It's a cheerful out-going colour that puts a smile on my dial. It's bold as well as cosy!
