Orange cartoon characters

Orange is warmth and energy in animation — the color of Garfield, Naruto, Charmander, Tigger, and Crash Bandicoot.

Why so much orange in animation?

Orange sits between red's intensity and yellow's friendliness. It reads as warm, kinetic, and outdoorsy, which is why it lands on so many fiery, fast-moving, or animal characters.
