These are the oranges I've had experience with:
Diamine Blaze Orange (my first & probably favourite) is likely too strong, it leans towards orangered, and Pennonia Róka Koma is almost identical to it. Diamine Pumpkin Shimmer is maybe a touch paler with a gold shimmer. Diamine Deep Dark Orange is a more subdued dark orange & is a fantastic ink. Diamine Peach Punch (Inkvent '21) is an orangey-peach. Diamine Wonderland (Inkvent '21) is a bright yellow-orange. And lastly, Diamine Flame (Inkvent '22) is a good mid orange, and it smells of matches! I haven't had any signs of nib crud from these inks, but YMMV.
As @UnfortunateTwist@beehaw.org mentioned, the Mountain of Ink blog is the best place to go to get a good idea of how different inks look and perform.
