Because the colors for the bar stool that I was ordering the orange was not vivid enough.  I had to choose black.  The black goes with one of the colors in the kitchen counters.  The only other black in the decor is the TV & my husband's briefcase.  Needing to add a little black to the kitchen bar, these lanterns were perfect.  The orange glass also matches the accent color in my kitchen.  I raised up one so they weren't the same height.  I will not use wax candles, but LED tealights.  With Halloween om the way, I should be able to find them in orange.
