Re: Color Help

according to the color wheel, for true web-safe colors. FF9900is suppose =
to be orange.  I checked and it seems to be to me.

I need some help to figure out what is wrong.=20

Basically I need to know if I am color blind.

I am told by someone that this is the color orange.=20

#FF5200

To me the above  looks like red with perhaps the faintest hint of
orange.

I offered the colors below and they were all rejected as being not
orange.

#FFA500
#FF9900
#FF9933
#FF9966
#FF8C00
#FF7F00

I see them as orange, dark orange and orange red.=20

Your opinions, either way, would be welcome as a project I'm working on
now has come to an almost complete halt over this.

I know people can disagree about colors and their names. But this time
the disparity between what I'm saying are hues of a color and what the
other person says is the correct hue seem to me to be rather widely
split.
