I can tell you the very small difference between 橘色and 橙色

For 橘色júsè, it contain more red elements, but for  橙色chéngsè, it contains more yellow elements.

 

 I think generally, they are both used for color orange in English， but I am not quite sure

Basically they are the same to me...橙 橘 are two kinds of fruits ,with the same color....橙色 is used more often.
