oranger

Tropical cargo ship

Oranger is the comparative form of orange when used as an adjective describing color: The sunset grew oranger as the sun dipped lower.

While "more orange" is also standard, oranger appears in casual speech and writing.

The word can sound slightly awkward, and many speakers avoid it.
