The good, the bad, and the orange

The good news: female/female couples given improved birth rights, and a happy response from a couple with two children.

The bad news: 100W incandescent bulbs banned starting from tomorrow. If you need 100W bulbs (I can't tolerate fluorescents due to a medical condition, as is true of many people), go and stockpile NOW.

The ponderings: since blue light stimulates serotonin and suppresses melatonin (i.e. makes us more alert), and orange light allows melatonin to be produced (i.e. makes us sleepy), then why do we persistently associate orange with energy and blue with relaxation?
