Flamboyant and Energetic : Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.
Any colour of the spectrum can be made by mixing the Yellow, Red, and Blue primaries. This is why they are called First-Order colours. These are pure colours and are not created though mixing any other colours
Red-Orange = 75% / 25% mix of Red and Yellow
