Orangered

Orangered refers to the colour (orange/red) of the envelope that glowed when you had a new Direct Message (before it was replaced with the bell icon) and the default Upvote arrow. r/dataisbeautiful gives a good explanation with an infographic[1].

Orangered (FF4500, PMS 172 C), is actually Reddit’s primary brand color, chosen for its vibrancy & distinctiveness.[2] It has provoked arguments[3], and sparked a conflict[4] which led to having its own trophy[5] as did its opponent[6].
