Living Simple Style Can Come from a Single Color…Orange.
Why not? It makes a statement, makes you happy, and it lends voluntary simplicity through its impact.
Orange has a history. Here’s a bit from Wikipedia with details you probably did not know about this distinctive, yet simple living color style…
Before the late 15th century, the color orange existed in Europe, but without the name; it was simply called yellow-red. Spanish and Portuguese merchants brought the first orange trees to Europe from Asia in the late 15th and early 16th century, along with the sanskrit name “naranga,” which gradually became “orange” in English. In parts of Germany, the Netherlands, and Russia, the orange fruit was and is still called the Chinese apple.
In France, painters took orange in an entirely different direction. In 1872, Claude Monet painted Impression Sunrise, a tiny orange sun and some orange light reflected on the clouds and water in the centre of a hazy blue landscape. This painting gave its name to the impressionist movement.
Thanks to William III, orange became an important political colour in Britain and Europe. William was a Protestant, and as such he defended the Protestant minority of Ireland against the majority Roman Catholic population. As a result, the Protestants of Ireland were known as Orangemen. Orange eventually became one of the colours of the Irish flag, symbolizing the Protestant heritage.
But, as you know being a regular reader here at Mommy LaDy Club, we do simple living, fashion and style from fellow Etsy Artists to celebrate and support their work and businesses. This time, we’re picking the best of Voluntary Simplicity in Style from Orange we can find…
