The colour orange has been used as far back as 1915 in the Harley-Davidson print ads. Before that they used red. In 1913 when the factory race department was formed the riders had orange stipes and sleeves ,possibly to tell them from the crowd of dirt covered competitors. I'd have to say that its use grew out of racing.
Orange and black have always been Harley's official colors (as used on the Bar & Shield logo that the Davidson brothers' Aunt Janet designed), but the first motorcycles were painted black, followed by Renault grey in 1906, followed by olive green in 1917. After 1922 color choices became more varied and paint colors offered changed each year, along with pinstripe options.
