Hello and welcome to HCM,
An orange to brown colored bruise below te belly button can be due to resorbing hematoma.
Is there any history of injury or trauma to that region.?
Trauma of any kind can lead to hematoma formation or collection of blood.
The hematoma or collected blood changes its color with passage of time.
This is the most probable possibility on the basis of history provided.
You can consult your doctor since exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical assessment.
Thanks and take care
