At a time when preferences for pink and purple, basically, the Lisa Frank colour scheme, dictated my (as well as my classmates') colour preferences and desicion-making process (a pink birthday cake, purple jackstones, pink headbands, purple scrunchies), I felt quite distinguished when I became partial to the colour orange. It's nice to see it vibrantly applied to clothing, as you'll see below:

It happened when I was about ten. It was a rainy day at a cementary and while adults were mourning, I took a good look around the premises and was instantly transfixed by a bouquet of orange coloured gladiolas in a cementary.  I suppose I really liked how lively, bright, strong, warm and whimsical the colour was in light of a pretty cold, sombre day.  I still feel this way about the colour and it's one of the reasons why I wanted to include it in this collection.
