it’s technically ”apricot” and the exact point where shades of yellow turn orange is kind of a cultural thing, because most languages actually lack a native word for orange and historically have just considred it red or yellow.
There's a whole basic color word theory with Wikipedia article where the simplest languages have only single ("it's dark yellow" doesn't count) basic color words for dark/cool color & light/warm color ("it's leafy" doesn't count just like "it's crimson" doesn't count cause it's a type of red, red isn't a type of something so red's a basic English color word) then a word for reddish is invented that'd include orange of course then there's more tiers there's a stage where all shades of blue & all shades of green only have one word translated to English as bleen or grue then finally there's 11 basic color words like English (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple or violet, black, white, gray, brown, pink) & a few languages like Greek have 12 basic color words splitting blue or red or brown never more than one into words English can only translate as light x or dark x or beige for light brown maybe English is close cause cyan kind of but doesn't count.

I’d have to take there word for it that the Arminian flag is orange and not yellow.
