What Causes Orange Colored Fluid Withdrawal From Knee?

i just had fluid withdrawn from my knee that is orange in color. What causes the fluid to be orange in color? The doctor gave me a cortisone shot in the knee after withdrawing the liquid. He said that I will be fine. I had orthoscopic knee surgery six weeks ago for a torn meniscus.
