Orange - The Color of Warmth

With fall here, the color orange pops to mind. Orange leaves, pumpkins, Thanksgiving, etc. bring warm feelings to most people. Orange is made from combining yellow and red. Yellow is a happy color while red is a firery color. Put the two together and you get the rich orange that is neither boring nor high strung.

Orange is versatile and should be used in mosaic art. Use it to create amazing flowers, autumn trees, and of course holiday gifts. You can also use it to show the setting sun over a field or heat radiating from the sun.

Since orange is created by mixing red and yellow, you can do just that and mix the two other colors with the orange glass tiles to give the illusion of varying shades of orange. You can use orange as a shading color for yellow or red areas too.

The orange tile can help create and define your mosaic pieces. This color is perfect for the start of the holiday season.
