        No no no… Orange-Red when you mix orange and red. Red-Orange is mixing red and orange.

        Here is Orange Red to compare:

          Had to get out the color picker tool to see if those were actually different (and they are, kudos for your effort)

        Really depends on how much red and how much orange.

          Two parts red, one part orange. Serve over ice. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

    Depending on the ratios in the mixture, scarlet or vermilion are options

    Scarlet is a bright red color, sometimes with a slightly orange tinge. In the spectrum of visible light, and on the traditional color wheel, it is one-quarter of the way between red and orange, slightly less orange than vermilion.

    Vermilion (sometimes vermillion) is a color family and pigment most often used between antiquity and the 19th century from the powdered mineral cinnabar (a form of mercury sulfide). It is synonymous with red orange, which often takes a modern form, but is 11% brighter (at full brightness).

    “Yellow-red red”.

    I’m half-joking. (Yellow-red is the old name for orange.) There isn’t a primary word for that specific colour, but I’ve seen people calling the colours in the #FF4000~FF5000 range “orange red”.

        I don’t know a name, but if making a Pokémon city out of it, please place it in an island near Cinnabar (#E34234), in Kanto.

    There is actually a specific name for this colour. It is called “Trump’s Ear”.
