Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Orange or brownish vaginal can be due to bacterial vaginosis or rarely die to yeast infection. Get a vaginal swab some to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes bloody discharge during menstruation can be mistaken for orange coloured vaginal discharge. You can empirically start antibiotics like Metronidazole until the swab results comes. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
