| (For simplicity, I said 'which is better'; to reiterate, I want to know whether you would prefer a world whose theme is either. The theme is metaphorical of everything. You can interpret it in as many metaphysical ways as you want.) |

Not the most difficult question to ask a bloke of South Asian origin.  |

Definitely brown!
Orange gets hard on he eyes after a while, brown is a much colder color and orange shades would just make me go insane much quicker than shades of brown!
Brown has such a subtle elegance too it, which is one reason people like leather!
different shades of brown remind me of more objects, light brown, or tan, reminds me of lumber, dark brown almost black, reminds me of chocolate, mid-brown reminds me of leather.
Orange reminds me of construction zones, lifejackets, warning signs, schoolbuses, etc...brown has a much more natural feel in my opinion.
Hope I've elaborated enough for you Cold Fusion!
P.S.
You seem kind of surprised, somewhat upset, that more people like brown, was there a bet going on with some friends about this?

......................by orange, I mean a world full of life and emotion; brown is a lifeless world without much emotion or feeling.

 You're lecturing people about their favorite colours...
...having cued them to incriminate themselves. |

You stated no such thing at the outset!
Are we all supposed to be able to read your mind and know what attributes you had given to each colour???
I would definitely NOT say brown was lifeless, especially when i look at a freshly ploughed bed of brown earth full of seed!

wow another poll that is a complete waste of time.
just ask the question. would you prefer a world that is lifeless, or a world full of emotion. everyone would give the same answer which would probably defeat the point of the poll, but having established it is pointless anyway it isn't a big problem.
brown is not emotionless don't know where you got that stupid idea from
