now I remembered the orange. it might be a little bit different. but on 
first sight it is te same (who can see the exact RGB-values without 
direct compare?) 

TYPO3 has become a kid toy:
there is a big TV channel for kids which used orange since years for 
their logo: nickelodeon

whoever wants to associate TYPO3 with nickelodeon should use the pure 
orange.
 
is TYPO3 a kid toy or a serious ECMS?
