There are Two distinct colors of Orange Lego elements. One is regular _Orange_,
and the other is called _Light Orange_ or _Light Yellow Orange_. Various kits
in the past two years have used the Light Orange color and some have even used
both colors in the same set.
An example of a set using both orange colors is set 4722 Harry Potter Gryffindor
House http://www.1000steine.de/users/brickset/images/4722-1.jpg
Several of the plates and arch bricks are of the lighter orange color while the
slopes and other pieces are regular Orange.
However, don't go by the inventory on Peeron for this set as it incorrectly
mixes up the colors. http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/4722-1 This particular
inventory has its orange colors mixed up with yet a third color commonly called
_Dark Orange_ or Rust. This Dark Orange is found in only a few sets so far,
including the Yoda Sculpture and Harry Potter Privet Drive

Although some of the colors are named incorrectly on a few Peeron set
inventories, this list shows some of the elements available in the Light Orange
color:

(I did not link to regular Orange or Dark Orange lists because those have too
many errors).
Hope this clears things up for you.
I also hope those individuals that have submitted inventories with errors are
not too angry, either. Mistakes happen and, fortunately, these are little
mistakes that can be corrected.
Happy Building!!
