Forget Purple...Prince's New Color:Orange

Ok, I felt a need to start a topic tonight, as I am feeling lonely. I am grasping at straws , so please be kind:

Last 2 records have orange as the predominant color on the CD cover, and recently as Emancipation and maybe even the vault , the same holds true. Get ready for Orange Rain, Orange House, maybe a cover of REMs Orange Crush.

Any thoughts out there?

Purple, Orange and green are all secondary colors, so they do complement eachother, And Prince could claim the rainbow, and He'd look good wearing any stripe of color, Or combination. He's got style.

I doubt it, he was being sponsored by a company called Orangehttp://www.orangeamps.com/, he used they're equipment so he was endorsing their name, Prince will truly always associated with Purple. But he has gone on the record as saying around the eighties that his new favorite color was "Banana yellow". lol

meow85, you are so right.

after studying art & color, i'm honestly so darned embarrassed.
cause i think i oughta know better.
i think it was a case of "if i build it, it will come (true)."

finally, anyone think Gold (TGE) makes a really nice complement to "Royal Purple?"

here's the color wheel:

Ah, don't worry about it. I've studied art and colour for years, and one day not too long ago I spent close to an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't make blue. lol


Gold and purple go great together. A very royal (heh) combination.

Blue is the complimentary of Orange, Purple is the complimentary of yellow.

OK I'm being picky now, so I shall leave!

It's hard to write songs with the word "orange". Nothing rhymes with orange.

Which begs the Q, what rhymes with purple...in fact if you alter the pronunciation of orange to O- range, you can rhyme mange, strange,

Well I guess it good that Prince does not rap more
