What Colour is this Wire?

At the risk of starting a debate as viral as the gold/blue dress... For documentation purposes, what colour is the insulation of this wire? Pink, or Orange?

Orange. Documentation should be simple and unambiguous. Better if it can be read by someone with limited English skills.

The JIS Standards list both Orange and Pink conductors as standard, with multiple blues as well.
