All colors have different meanings under different contexts but shades of red and orange are the most contradictory. On the one hand, they stand for warmth and love, as well as passion, energy, and desire. On the other hand, these colors represent power, aggressiveness, violence, and danger.

Being one of the most visible colors in the color spectrum makes red a winner when it comes to grabbing attention. A red traffic light, warning, or stop sign does more than inform people. It warns them of a looming threat.

Orange, on the other hand, is often described as bright, happy, and uplifting. However, a by-product of red and yellow, highly saturated orange can appear fierce, and aggressive.
