Orange is an odd colour for a brand. But then some might say that the New Democratic Party (NDP) is an odd political party.

An unusual combination of unionists, environmentalists, and pacifics (among other groups), the NDP has staked out a position on the left side of Canada's political spectrum.

In England and Australia this position is the domain of the Labour Party (UK) or Labor Party (Australia). Both of the labour/labor parties use red as their colour, but in Canada that colour belongs to the Liberals.

So the NDP is stuck with this hideous orange, a colour that almost no other brand uses. Who can you think who uses orange as part of their branding? Home Depot?

And the origin of the title of this post? A horribly bad knock knock joke.

"Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Orange.
