The colours of Halloween are orange and black.

Orange: Is the colour of the leaf fall and harvest. In its origins Halloween was a Celtic festival, wich symbolized the end of summer, and, therefore, the fall of the leaf.

Black: Is the most enigmatic and colour associate with fear and the unknown. In heraldry, black representing the pain and grief.
