My blood tea looked pinkish red, and almost gave the wort a slight pinkish color. Thats probably because I made a light hefe using white wheat. The finished beer looks hazy and straw colored, no sign of the oranges. Let us know how it turns out with eight oranges.
The "tea" looked like grapefruit juice.
The airlock smells fantastic. I found it interesting that even using double the number of oranges, it must have been fairly close to the amount desired as my SG was 1.051, only 0.001 higher than the number listed on the recipe on Page 2 of the thread.
