Orange is the most controversial of color many consider it to be the GAUCHE legacy of the freewheeling '70s. But what an unfair reputation that decade has! To me,the '70s were when the counterculture became the popular culture and when adult finally felt liberated to EMBRACE IMMATURITY. you could be young again without having to be innocent! Orange shouted out to the world that you didn't take things too seriously : that you weren't old and crusty , that you were not your parents,and that you didn't have a living room full of plastic-covered furniture. Rather , your furniture was made of plastic and it was probably designed by VERNER PANTON.
