I'm still a pinks/blues (reds/purples), girl, deep down, but I enjoy adding a splash of yellow here and there, and as it turns out, oranges as well. Whether it is in a guam, a marigold, a cosmos or whatever, splashes of this shade do brighten things up. But wow, I don't have a place for such a variety of oranges.
