Could hex FE5C00 be added as a variant? While OSU claims that they started off using "Princeton orange" as their school colors in reference to being nicknamed "the Princeton of the Plains" [1] the color they use today isn't actually the same as Princeton Orange. [2]. I'd argue that it's a pretty recognizable hue, but I'm not sure if an "official" name for the color exists. Netscape128 ( talk) 13:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Is tangerine tango a shade of orange or of red? QuentinUK ( talk) 00:04, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
As seems to be the case routinely with university colors defined as Pantone colors, there are discrepancies in our Pantone orange RGB/HSV/CMYK values in the various articles. The color is defined by Princeton University as Pantone 158, various imitations of which are:
Hex RGB | H° | S% | V% | Source |
---|---|---|---|---|
#E37222 | 25 | 85 | 89 | Pantone 158 at Pantone website |
#F58028 | 26 | 84 | 96 | Pantone 158 at Alt source 1 of Pantone swatches [1] [2] [3] |
#E96B10 | 25 | 93 | 91 | Pantone 158 at Alt source 2 of Pantone swatches |
#E87511 | 28 | 93 | 91 | Pantone 158 at Alt source 3 of Pantone swatches, Alt source 4 of Pantone swatches |
#FF8F00 | 34 | 100 | 100 | "Princeton orange" HSV (34, 100, 100) and CMYK (0, 44, 100, 0) previously at Shades of orange and List of colors: N–Z, "Princeton orange" at Encycolorpedia |
#F46F1B | 23 | 89 | 96 | "Princeton orange" RGB #F46F1B previously at Shades of orange |
#F58025 | 26 | 85 | 96 | "Princeton orange" as rendered in samples at Princeton official website (actually a mix of #F[45]8[01]2[45], with equivalent hues of 26° and 27°) |
I'm going with #F58025, based on use on Princeton's website and proximity to other values. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 09:01, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
The absence of Safety orange from this page is quite "glaring". It is one of the most socially significant shades of orange, it is widely used to signal or mark dangers - everything from traffic cones to hunters' hats are this shade of orange. International orange is a fairly similar shade used for enhanced visibility particularly in aerospace applications. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 21:45, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
I noticed that the specific shade of orange used by the University of Tennessee (UT) is not in the article. From what I understand, the specific shade of orange UT uses is unique to the school. Jay ( talk) 03:42, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
"If the visible spectrum is wrapped to form a color wheel, orange appears midway between red and yellow" What is the point of this section? Orange appears midway between red and yellow even if the spectrum isn't wrapped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.248.218.89 ( talk) 20:43, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

I think we can do better in the description of burnt orange. Although I do not have access to a Dictionary of Color to confirm what they defined as burnt orange, I think the color is misrepresented.
As mentioned in the entry, at least three universities use this color. University of Texas is the only university that has a vastly different shade. I heard the reason for this discrepancy is that UT's color started out as burnt orange, but a mishap in a order left them with their current color of "Texas Orange" [1] - a bit darker then the traditional burnt orange color. This reason, obviously, needs to be sourced and confirmed. Aurburn University [2] and Virginia Tech [3] both use PMS 158 for their official shade of burnt orange. Orange: What do you think about adding a Texas Orange to the list of orange variations? [1]

Seems that the colours in the articles Safety orange and International orange should be mentioned here too. - Snori ( talk) 04:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Is there any evidence for this color name? Dgorsline ( talk) 02:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries
If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 14:24, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Noticed that the shade Tea Rose appears in the 'shades of pink' box at the bottom of the article for Pink, but that it links here. It's described here as "ISCC–NBS descriptor Deep yellowish pink". Also the external link in its entry ' ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Color Names (1955)--Color Sample of Tea Rose (color sample #26)' in the article is dead. So should it be here or in shades of pink? Or not in the box on the Pink page for shades of pink? Or something else? Frond Dishlock ( talk) 01:07, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm gonna be adding certain hair colors that qualify as orange or not. Any brown color can potentially qualify as orange. As a topic, I feel like hair color needs more steps for approval. It can just sit here until then. ThunderBrine ( talk) 07:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

I think we can all agree that the color "Khaki" under the "Additional variations of orange" is definitely not orange. Why is it listed? In the Khaki article, it is described as light brown with a small amount of yellow. Orange is not included. Khaki is an earth tone. Not an orange. Even a quick Google search shows no evidence of Khaki being an orange shade. Josprien ( talk) 20:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
