Welcome back to another edition of Color Swatches For The Soul, where we are taking a closer look at the symbolism of shades, and how to set the mood for your craft projects, fashion, and lifestyle with color psychology! Today we’re looking at Tangerine.

The Orange Family

The color orange represents self confidence and the immune system, as it is the color of the resilient vitamin c! As a mix of the ambitious, passionate red and the joyful, sunny yellow, orange symbolizes standing up for your happiness and taking actions to lead you toward it, as well as focusing on the active parts of your life that bring you joy! Orange focuses on the self primarily, because we cannot make others happy. For this reason, in excess it can become egotistical or obnoxious.

How Tangerine Sets The Mood

Tangerine is a slightly yellower, lighter shade of orange. As such, it has a less serious tone to it, and brings about a sense of innocent, joyful self indulgence. Leaning away from the brashly active red, and more towards the sociable pink, it is a wonderful color for celebrating or vacationing with friends!

How To Use Tangerine In Your Craft Projects

Tangerine represents balanced confidence, and enjoyment in the current moment. It can be used for any craft project that needs to find a happy medium between standing out, and cooperation. Tangerine is the perfect hue to use in for crafts around the office, or for birthday gifts! It says, ‘I’m awesome, you’re awesome, we’re awesome.’ It is also a great color for getting up the courage to release old fears, and break patterns that no longer serve you.

Color Palettes For Tangerine

Tangerine can play well with neutrals, pastels, and darks quite well! It will clash against moody colors and jewel tones, unless they are balanced very carefully. It is one of the more versatile shades of orange, and can add a pop of self-assuredness to most simple, medium to light palettes. Tangerine is most at home and in its full essence when surrounded by bright, like minded colors. Confetti, stripes, or polkadots of spring green, pinks, aquas, and yellows all bring life to the party that Tangerine wants to throw. They give the innocent confidence of the hue something to be glowing about in its celebration! All in all, Tangerine symbolizes active joy, and lives out the essence of gratitude on a day-to-day basis. Whichever colors you add to your palette, the orange family is sure to be certain that it belongs right where it is.

If you can feel it, there’s a color for it!

Who is the most popular serial killer?

The following list explores some of the most notorious serial killers the world has ever known. Jack the Ripper. ... Jeffrey Dahmer. ... Harold Shipman. ... John Wayne Gacy. ... H.H. Holmes. ... Pedro Lopez. ... Ted Bundy.

Harold Shipman, also known as “Dr. Death,” is believed to have killed at least 218 patients, although the total is quite likely closer to 250. This doctor practiced in London and between 1972 and 1998 worked in two difference offices, killing all the while. He wasn’t caught until a red flag was raised by several people, including an undertaker who was surprised by the sheer number of cremation certificates Shipman was a part of, along with the fact that most of the cases were elderly women found to have died in bed not at night but rather during the day. Police mishandled the investigation, and Shipman kept killing until he got greedy and tried to concoct a will for a victim that named him beneficiary, which led the victim’s daughter to become suspicious. He was finally convicted in 2000 and committed suicide while in prison in 2004.
