The etymology of the color “orange” is Indian; it comes from the Sanskrit word Narange, which means orange (fruit) tree. Aside from this ethnic connection, orange, like other English words for colors come from either Latin, a Proto-Indian language, or high old German.

Orange perhaps has the most versatile shades, and different variations of its dye can transform fabric into gold, champagne and even apricot!
Any clothing item with orange in your closet will stand out and shine brightly among black and white clothing. It is one of the harder and more advanced colors to pull off, especially for men.

Orange shirt really stands out in a nightclub – a great way to peacock. Take a look at Eryk below in a nightclub – he’s colorful and shining in a sea of darker grey colors. If in doubt, just get a well fitted orange shirt and dark jeans to peacock in a club.
