oranging

Turning sunset hue

Oranging is the process of turning orange in color, or causing something to become orange.

The term appears most often describing gradual color changes: autumn leaves oranging on the branch, a sunset oranging the horizon, skin oranging from excessive carrot consumption or self-tanner.

The sky was oranging as the sun dipped below the hills.
