Shades of Orange...

I wore a beautiful sweater to school today. It's a new one...Liz Claiborne...very graphic, orange with small white stripes. A staff member was celebrating her birthday today. She had this absolutely eye-catching cupcake with a HUGE orange flower on top, made completely out of butter, sugar, and cream cheese. I sat by her at lunch and someone commented that the flower was the exact color as my sweater. As we all looked at them both, we realized that neither was really orange. They weren't peach, tangerine, or ??? So, I came home after running the last track meet of the season, absolutely frozen and tired, and did a little research. Here's a list:
