SPAMCAPITAL: Orange

The colour orange occurs between red and yellow in the visible spectrum at a wavelength of about 585 – 620 nm, and has a hue of 30° in HSV colour space.
 
complementary colour of orange is azure, a slightly greenish blue.
 
With pigments such as paints or inks, a mixture of the subtractive primary colours in the proportion of 75% yellow and 25% magenta produce the secondary colour orange.
 
Orange pigments are largely in the ochre or cadmium families, and absorb mostly blue light.
 
At above right is the colour wheel colour orange.
 
This is the colour orange as defined in HSV colour space; that is, it is the hue midway between red and yellow.
 
It is numerically halfway between red and yellow in a gamma-compressed RGB colour space, and is diametrically opposite azure, on the HSV colour wheel.
 
The colour is named after the orange fruit, introduced to Europe via the Indo-European word nāranja. Before this was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to (in Old English) as geoluhread, which translates into Modern English as yellow-red.
 
The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in 1512,[1] in the court of King Henry VIII.
