Hi the orange mutation is called Orange breast and it can also be used in conjunction with other mutations such as Black Breast, this combination is know as a orange breasted, black breast, you could also combine orange with other mutations

Lovely lightbak male you have there. The 'lightback' gene reduces the orange cheek to more of an apricot colour.
