Ya, I wouldn’t personally call all those orange myself to be honest. All colour names are arbitrary but orange especially so since its a more recent invention (on a historical time scale) and our brains do some funky post processing stuff to differentiate it from brown (which is the mostly the same hue as orange, just dull as opposed to vibrant). So what exactly counts as orange is a bit of a mess even compared to other colours.

i know that some cultures used the same word for blue and green. They didn’t perceive 2 different colours but hues of, for example, glaz.
orange is linked to the fruit in many languages. that’s why i posted those 2 photographs together.
Orangutans too are orange and i’m sorry for writing this sentence :) At least they’re not striped.
