The color orange is typically associated with wavelengths around 590-620 nanometers (nm). Objects or substances that appear orange absorb light at other wavelengths while reflecting or transmitting light in the orange range.

When an object absorbs light, it absorbs specific wavelengths or colors of light, and the remaining wavelengths are reflected or transmitted, giving the object its perceived color. In the case of orange objects, they tend to absorb light in the blue and violet range while reflecting light in the orange range.

It's important to note that the specific range of wavelengths absorbed by an orange object can vary depending on the material or pigment responsible for its color. Different shades of orange can result from variations in the absorption and reflection characteristics of the object.
