orange is a newish morph, so would suggest yours is most definately an amel. Also as buf is dominant if you had an orange you would know as it would have cost you an arm and a leg.

Geoff looks like an amel, some are more orangey than others. As Gmac said, if you had a true orange you would know it.

Yes, looks like an Amel. I have Ember, but she has less orange and more other colours. Ember is a Sunglow.

there's such a huge variation in the actual colour the amel gene can physically present i'd go for amel......as G says, anything more high-end and the vendor would definitely know what he had (and would price accordingly!)
