So this thread has gotten me thinking about saffron kilts, and I've always wondered what color "saffron" really is. I've seen everything from a dark brown to a very bright orange called "saffron."

The reason I ask is because I work at a university where our colors are orange and black, and I thought it would be cool to have a saffron kilt (from the orange end of the spectrum) to wear to university events.

Thoughts?
