orangey positive

Morphology

orangey = orange (transparent) = orange + y

Simple adjectival formation from the colour word 'orange' with '-y' meaning 'somewhat/characterized by', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Orangey is simply orange plus the ending -y, which means 'having' or 'full of', so orangey means 'having a color like orange'.
