I have not done any of the gathering trade skills lately that have been in the 'orange' status, but this sounds similar to the method of skilling up skinning and fishing that was tested in phase 3 of the closed beta. Not the same, but similar. At that time, the color did not matter except for determining if you would accumulate 'points' for the purpose of earning a skill up. For skinning the level of the mob would determine how many points you added to the total. When that point score was greater than your current skill then your total would get reduction by your skill value and then your skill value was incremented by 1. At higher levels then it would typically take 5 successful uses of the skill on the highest mob you could skin to earn a skill up.
