I think it's just because Orange looks good against blue, which is the colour of all the toolbars in windows. Orange is also quite a visible colour.
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

To be honest, most colours are quite visible. And out of all colours, we can differentiate between green the best.
My current favourite word is: Waffle Cheese is still good though.

Not if you're colour blind[^] :D You wouldn't be able to see an orange icon on a blue taskbar at all.

Not to blow our own trumpet but in the months after we first started our big, orange MSDN ads we saw a dramatic shift towards the orange end of the spectrum in software ads and branding. It was kinda cool even if it was a mere coincidence.

Haha, i did actually say most colours, not all colours ;) Okay a crappy excuse it is. My mother is colour blind between blue and green, can't tell them apart, its mostly just different shades of the same colour.

I've also been seeing a lot of software ads with psychotic little aliens too. Congrats!

because "Orange you glad I developed this software" sounds much better than "Red you glad I developed this software", "Green you glad I developed this software" or "Blue you glad I developed this software" :-D Steve
