I can't remember if any one called that color by its full name:
International RESCUE Orange.

Early on when Canada was coming up with its current Maple Leaf flag
instead of using the Navy Ensign flag (or whatever it was), I kidded my
wife (she's from Alberta Canada) because the first one we were able to
buy in a store was of a color just shy of Int'l Rescue Orange.  I
thought at the time "what a wonderful way to combine patriot's pride
with safety savvy."
