	LOL never knew there were 20 shades of orange!!! Though most of these really classify as orange things, not shades in my opinion...

	@EmYanks2001 A lot of them aren't even orange things either. Mahogany? Gold? Lion? ...What?

	Some of these you can make a plausible case for, but others seem out of place, eg: Salmon is widely known as a shade of pink. I'd like to see the source for this quiz.

	Where do you buy your champagne? Florida?

	I don't know who makes the decisions on what constitutes a shade of orange, but some of these are sketchy at best. A number of arbitrary fruits and veggies are on here, but no yam or butternut, which are definitely more orange in color than gold, amber or tomato. I only liked the quiz because orange is my favorite color!

	Hogmanay is frequently seen through an amber haze.... ;-)

	The powers to be at Sporcle removed my source upon publication. I know how everyone feels about Wikipedia but here is my source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_orange

	Wikipedia has actually gotten much better, now that they don't allow people to edit the information.

	I wasn't really paying attention and typed "lemon" instead of "melon" and got a message saying something about how "lemons are definitely yellow". all i could for the rest of the quiz was "mahogany is definitely brown, champagne is definitely yellow, tomatoes are definitely red, gold is definitely gold/yellow, salmon is definitely pink..."

	@jeebsmagee Exactly what I thought...it seems so arbitrary.

	How is salmon one, but mango isn't?

	I don't think it's the quizmaker's fault that a number of these don't seem to be shades of orange, but apparently some colorblind fool who can't tell what is orange. :)

	According to Wikipedia, brown is a shade of orange. Melon isn't on there though.

	who else put lemon? :L

	@Wikipedia (via jefe_) - Brown isn't a shade of orange! It's chromatic grey. Mix the primary colors (pigment) all together and you get brown. Orange + blue = brown, or red + green, or yellow + purple.

	I'm with everyone else here about mahogany, salmon, gold, etc. - and about lion (can anyone picture a shade of orange that "lion" is supposed to name?). Then again, Crayola has gone all wonky with how they name colors too these days. Anyway, I do like that the quiz includes Safety Orange!
