Define "stronger". I don't think any hue is stronger than any other hue really. It's only one property of colour, and one of the less important ones too.


>is orange the most underrated colour?
No, if anything it is overrated. Traditionally warm colours like reds and oranges have been given more emphasis in art than cooler colours.

generally people define color strength as what is "hardest on the eyes" so in the category of red being the strongest and green being the "weakest" what would purple be in comparison to blue?
>>

I've never heard that definition for colour strength. And why is red the hardest on the eyes and green the weakest? What if you have a bright toxic green colour?

It's kind of a weird way of approaching colour though since colour is all relative. So making absolute statements about the impact or strength of isolated colours is somewhat pointless, especially when only dealing with hue and not discussing saturation or value.
