orangy

Leaning toward amber

Orangy describes something having an orange tint or quality—not fully orange, but leaning that way: The sunset had an orangy glow.

Also spelled orangey.

The word appears most often describing colors, flavors, or scents that suggest orange without being definitively so: an orangy-red, an orangy taste.
