Why are some of your guys avatars orange today?

Asked by Tink (8673points) August 23rd, 2009 from iPhone

Don’t get me wrong, orange is my favorite color, but I want to know why you guys have your avatar that color?
Did I miss something today?

What happened to Cak?

Apparently, tink, there was a tradition when cak and some others were on askville to show orange in support for cak as it is a healing color. Join us.

This would be why my question that I posted earlier to start this trend was NOT redundant, as I was told by the moderators. Oh well. :P

In support of Cak, though I’m not entirely sure how it started out being orange, over on Askville many people have orange avatars or change to orange avatars when she’s going through something particularly nasty. Orange is a healing color, but I’m not sure if that’s just a coincidence or if that’s why it was chosen. Its a way to show that we’re thinking about her and supporting her in her rough times. I transplanted the tradition over here today. :)

According to this site, “Orange creates balance. In terms of subtle bodies, it is linked to the mental body in both its logical and conceptual form. It is used to increase immunity, to increase sexual potency, to help in all digestive ailments, chest and kidney diseases. Orange will have a gentle warming effect if used lightly.”

I even destroyed my diehard NASCAR fan loyalty to turn my JJ avey orange. GL, Cak!
