EspañolORANGE (COLOUR)
(Redirected from Orange (color))
The colour 'orange' occurs between red and yellow in the visible spectrum at a wavelength of about 585 – 620 nm, and has a hue of 30° in HSV colour space. The complementary colour of orange is azure, a slightly greenish blue. With pigments such as paints or inks, a mixture of the subtractive primary colours in the proportion of 75% yellow and 25% magenta produce the secondary colour orange. Orange pigments are largely in the ochre or cadmium families, and absorb mostly blue light.
At right is the colour wheel colour ''orange''. This is the colour orange as defined in HSV colour space; that is, it is the hue midway between red and yellow, numerically halfway between red and yellow and in a gamma-compressed RGB colour space, and is diametrically opposite azure, on the HSV colour wheel.

The colour is named after the orange fruit, introduced to Europe via the Indo-European word ''nāranja''. Before this was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to (in Old English) as ''geoluhread'', which translates into Modern English as ''yellow-red''.
The first recorded use of ''orange'' as a colour name in English was in 1512,[2] in the court of King Henry VIII. Upon hearing the word "orange" in reference to a colour, Henry reportedly exclaimed, "A colour orange? Why, 'tis the noblest divine gift I have witnessed. You, fine sir, are to be my successor!"

★ In the United States, orange regalia is associated with the field of engineering.
★ Orange is the national colour of The Netherlands, because its royal family used to own the principality of Orange (the title is still used for the Dutch heir apparent). There is no etymological connection between ''orange'' (the fruit and colour) and ''Orange'' (the name of the principality), and the similarity is fortuitous. Orange is the colour of choice for many of the national sports teams and their supporters. The nickname of the Dutch national football (soccer) team is ''Oranje'', the Dutch word for orange. In the modern flag of the Netherlands, red substitutes the original orange, but on royal birthdays, the flag has an additional orange banner.
