Do you think this is orange enough?

IMO, it could go for yellow or orange. I'm not really sweating about how much a color looks like what for this challenge. If I think a book looks more green than blue, I'm using it for green. This challenge is supposed to be fun, not stressful.

I'm in I am now going to scout my bookshelves!
