Me neither. I *hate* orange. It's almost a yucky color to me. When I built
my personal homepage, I had an orange background for the page listing my
school courses because I wanted to show how much I disliked it. :-)
Yellow on the other hand, has a lighter feel to it, esp. when a whiter
kind of yellow (i.e., not bright yellow) is used for backgrounds. Well, I
guess they don't say this for no reason: How to Lie with Statistics... :-)
