When does bright orange merge into yellow?

Is there a point where the two are fellows?
And just exactly what's natural and pleasing
About a color whose hues are always teasing?

The brightness catches the eye and warms the heart
It's so vivid ... especially, when it's applied in art ...
But not many really use it as it seems so garish ...
And so they tend to lean towards a mustard yellow flash

Whether you use orange, red, pink, purple or yellow
Remember all of these colors stand out against snow
So if you want to be seen and distinguished in the cold
The brighter colors will help - whether you are young or old ...

- Tristram
