Talk:Orange (colour)#Requested move 2

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)

:NO, because the article was originally created in British English, and by Wikipedia policy articles are supposed to remain in the variant in which they were started. --Orange Mike | Talk 11:35, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

== History and Art; carnelians ==

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

the web colour for orange is a shade of orange, and not representitive of orange as it appears on the colour wheel. The wikipedia pages for other tertiary colors are not altered to be their web colour hex codes, so it is inconsistent to do so only with orange. Iţðript (talk) 22:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

The section of "Confucianism" is disputed. As a native Chinese speaker，I'm very sure that the colour of orange does take its Chinese name from the orange fruit, not from saffron (see [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%A9%99%E8%89%B2 wiktionary] or [https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=%E6%A9%99 MCCD]). Also, I doubt that the colour of orange had the meaning of transformation or anything in Confucianism, since it was never a basic colour in China until 20th century (see [https://search.worldcat.org/zh-cn/title/1155167364 赵晓驰] 258 ff.). In my opinion, Eva Heller, who was a color psychologist but not a historian, must have read some wrong information about China thus written wrong statements in her book.——三猎 (talk) 08:10, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Please change the line saying "in Paganism" to "in Wicca", as per the source of that line. The claim that the colour orange has the same meaning across all of pagan religions, or that "paganism" is some cohesive whole, is quite ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.232.108.89 (talk) 20:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

The first line in the third paragraph in the "House of Orange" subsection under "History and Art" links to the page of William III of the Netherlands (1817 - 1890), whereas the discussion is about the William III of England (better known as William of Orange). This can be confirmed as the paragraph later talks about the Orangemen, and that article clearly states that the name is a reference to William III of England. 103.175.10.170 (talk) 19:48, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
