Redorange is a color term used to describe a tone that lies between red and orange on the color wheel. It can refer to a range of hues that blend red and orange components, and it is sometimes written as red-orange or orange-red. In color science, redorange is considered a warm, bright color with high saturation.

In digital color representations, redorange is approximated by shades in the orange-red region. The closest standard CSS color name is orangered (#FF4500). Designers reproduce redorange in RGB or HSL values by maintaining high red and relatively high green with low blue, yielding a vivid, warm appearance.

Applications of redorange span design and branding, advertising, and sportsteam colors, where the hue conveys energy and urgency without using pure red. It is also used in safety signaling in some contexts due to its high visibility, though more intense safety hues may be chosen for maximum legibility. In art and fashion, redorange is paired with neutrals or contrasting greens and blues to create warmth or a focal accent.

Variations and perception of redorange depend on medium and lighting, with no single universal standard. The term commonly appears in color palettes, paint names, and digital design to describe a transitional hue between red and orange. In nature, redorange appears in sunsets, autumn foliage, and certain fruits, while culturally it is associated with warmth, vitality, and enthusiasm.
