Answer 2

One might think of black cats and pumpkins, but Halloween colors are a little more complex than that.

There are two schools of thought about the significance of Halloween orange and black. One goes back to the ancient Celtic roots of the holidays, when orange unbleached beeswax candles were lit during the night, and black shrouds were used to wreath the caskets of the dead.

Another opinion holds that orange is the color of autumn: pumpkins, butternut squash, fall leaves, the harvest moon. Black is the color of approaching darkness, as nights lengthen when winter approaches. Black is also associated with death, mystery, the supernatural and the occult, all of which play a role in Halloween customs.

Answer 3

• he reason why Halloween is associated with the colors orange and black is that orange represents the color of pumpkins, which of course are a traditional Halloween decoration (especially if carved), and black represents the dark spirits which supposedly come forth on All Hallow's Eve (the name of which Halloween is an abbreviation).
