Thanks for your query.

Orange colored urine due to your urine being concentrated which is due to less water intake .If you have no urinary symptoms like burning ,increased frequency etc it can be cured by drinking more water.(4-5 liters per day).

This will help to keep your urine dilute and faint in colour.
