So I've been noticing recently (not that it's anything new, just new to me) that there are some beers out there that have a very bright orange color. The two that come to mind are IPAs - Six Point Bengaly Tiger and Baxter Stowaway. I'm wondering what sort of grain or combination of grains produce this color. Where does the orange come from?
 
I get a nice orange color using C120 and American Pale (3L). Normally C120 is used to give Red Ales their color and the American Pale is a nice golden color.
 
I've achieved orange-esque color with crystal 45l, I think the key is to strive for very bright final product, for me this is plentiful recirculation in the mash and a healthy dose of irish moss in the boil as well as cold crashing before kegging
