the color orange was used as a symbol used to protest against the human rights violations in china. the main idea of the color orange was to give participants, visitors, and the chinese population a possibility to send a signal to the world that something is wrong, by using an orange hat, camera bag, tie, pen, paper, dress, suit, bag, etc. the color orange organization described it as this: "the strict censorship can ban the use of obvious symbols of human rights, but the use of the color orange cannot be banned."
