Winnie the Pooh is literally yellow.

How did I not realise this before.

    Pooh is golden yellow.
    Your computer display color calibrations are probably off. Showing too much saturation, or too much red, turns golden yellow into orange.
    If you're on Windows: start>color management>advanced tab>calibrate display

    Honestly, the best way to check if your monitor has good color rendering and accurate color calibration is to look at porn.

      I tested it by putting both pooh and various color charts in the same image, and dragging a bit of pooh's fur over the chart until they matched. They matched on either "orange", or golden for the more detailed charts.

        Then you're probably looking at a biased sample of Pooh Bear pictures, and not correctly accounting for scene lighting conditions.
        Might even blame color constancy; such that Pooh is orange in your mind, so you see him as orange and reinterpret his surroundings instead.

        For real though it's mostly just a language and culture issue, the way people categorize colors differs between countries.

        (also i didn't downvote you, i'm not rude like that; plenty of other ways, but not like that)
