Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The orange color over the gu like can be materia alba or plaque secondary to improper oral hygiene. This can occur frequently if you are a mouth breather. Nothing to be panic,consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can brush your teeth and maintain oral hygiene, use chlorhexidine mouth wash, clean the gums with either brush or a gauze dipped in saline.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
