what colour is Orange exactly?

[Jamie Young]

Hi everyone,

I work on the Client team and have been part of the change that's seen the
hex colour for Ubuntu Orange change from DD4814 to E95420.

We are in the process of writing a post (or maybe even series of posts)
about the thinking behind the colour change. It will, I hope pre-answer a
lot of the questions that have appeared above.

I'd ask for a little more time for us to get this post polished off and to
make sure it answers as many of the questions and worries that have
appeared over the last few months as this change has slowly been
implemented across all of our digital properties.

Thanks for all your comments and questions, it's been great to see such a
response and we will endeavour to make sure that everyone is happy (or at
least aware) of the changes and why we thought they were important to make.

Cheers
Jamie
