Origin of Halloween Colors
" It is the custom of the celebration to use orange and black in decorations and costumes. Retailers embrace this holiday because it’s one of the most lucrative of all.
As the Celtics are given the most credit for beginning the holiday as the festival of the harvest, a color of autumn is used. Orange, being the most prevalent autumn tone, is derived from the pumpkin and leaves.
The color orange also signifies strength and endurance. We don’t know if that is for the holiday or strength and endurance at the harvest time
Halloween was once (and still may be in some areas) a festival of the dead. Death is usually associated with darkness and absence of light signified by the color black."
Orange is the color of the setting or dying sun just before the blackness or darkness of night time or winter.
this is why orange is the new black because orange is the warning color of death
safety orange
"Of course, Halloween colors are not just limited to orange and black, you will also see a lot of blood red, eerie green, ghostly white and deep purples"

Traditionally orange and black were the two colors associated with Halloween and together they have a yin/yang type of relationship.
But there are also several other colors that have become an important part of All Hallow’s Eve including white, red, purple and green.

because it is the time of the harvest just before the death of the sun in the cold winter.
so orange warns of death, the death of the sun.
Orange – The Vibration of Life
Orange is the polar opposite of black. It is a lively color that celebrates life and the bounty of the Autumn harvest.
Orange is the color of fire cutting through the darkness of night. Orange is warm and positive.
Many leaves turn orange during Fall and pumpkins and """"jack o’lanterns,"""" popular Halloween symbols, are also orange.
