RE:

if you notice in tagalog book if word becomes too deep for filipino writer, the filipino writer just add “i-” before word and it instantly become part of the tagalog vocabulary (Ex: i-snow). So you just use i-orange and i’m sure filipinos will understand
You can call it “dalandan” or “kahel”, “dalanghita,” “sintunis” or “sintones”… just call it “orange”…
