Every other color like red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and violet all do not follow with (colour) or (color) I’m the title and they look uniform this way. Orange is the only one that is standing out differently. It only looks odd if you have them all bookmarked.

Shouldn’t “colour” be changed to “color” in the title to be consistent with other titles such as Violet (color) and Color (which used to be titled colour). Tinton5 ( talk) 08:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Second sentence in the History and art section:"Orange carnelians were significantly used during the Indus Valley civilization which was, in turn, obtained by the people from Kutch, Gujarat." I don't know what the writer is trying to say here, exactly, but I'm fairly certain that the Indus Valley civilisation was not obtained from Gujarat. Maybe the badly mangled intent was to say "Orange carnelians, used notably in the Indus Valley civilization, were obtained from Kutch, Gujarat." If I were certain, I would have done that edit, but I leave it to someone more knowledgeable; at any rate some sort of fix is required. 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:7D0B:BB63:D6EF:3F73 ( talk) 03:12, 14 May 2024 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader
