Knock Knock. Who’s there? Orange. Orange Who? Orange you glad you are going to learn some amazing facts about the color orange. I never really understood that knock-knock joke, but I know one thing. Orange is cool. Here are 25 reasons why:

1. Orange is the color worn to represent many important issues including animal cruelty and self-harm. Support important conditions, wear orange.

2. The Golden Gate Bridge is orange! It is actually a shade called International Orange, used by space agencies to make things stand out really strongly in space. 

3. Some Buddhists wear orange robes. While you might think it is because of its calming nature or beauty, it is actually because it is a very common color available to dye robes with.

4. Astronauts wear orange space suits inside a shuttle but must change to white for outside a shuttle.

5. Vincent Van Gough was a big fan of orange. Saying there is no blue without yellow and orange.

6. Stradivari has the most famous violins. Often selling for over $1 million at auctions. Many believe they have an incredible sound partly because of the orange varnish inside.

7. Orange is the color of the Netherlands. The Dutch royal family’s color is orange and it is the national team’s jersey as well. 

8. The 25th day of every month is called Orange day. A day to focus on solving the issues of violence towards women. 

9. Orange is easier to find in long grass than blue. That is why Flymo made their lawnmowers orange after some very obvious and unnecessary consumer research.

10. Carrots are not originally orange, the Dutch are to blame. They are most commonly purple but the dutch cross-bred them with a white/yellow vegetable to create the orange color we know today.
