    According to the pagan perspective, black represents neutrality (that is to say, neutralizing dark or energy) and is associated with Hecate, goddess of the dark moon and of witchcraft. Orange is representative of strength and endurance, and can be relevant to the harvest when observed from the view of withstanding the winter and enjoying the fruits of one's labor.

    There are other opinions on the subject, but anything involving evil about those two colors is false; the veil IS thinnest on Halloween and anything attracting evil is ill-advised.
