Was there an orange Power Ranger?

Some fans might not worry about this and to be honest Orange is not my favorite color, but I do like variety and I have wondered through the years as to why there has not been a real Orange Ranger in Super Sentai or Power Rangers. Some might think it is a no-brainer that Orange is just not an appealing color. The closest to an Orange Ranger Power Rangers has gotten to is in SPD, Boom had a dream sequence that he was a ranger--had the number Zero and his helmet was a re-colored MegaYellow/Space Ranger helmet. He later donned his own home-made outfit.

Battle Cossack can be considered an Orange Ranger, he is the only one in Super Sentai history to have a complete orange suit, but he doesn't look like the others. His Ranger Key in Gokaiger is orange. Maybe Toei doesn't think orange melds well in a 5-core team. Lately they have been using orange in suits like Bouken Silver (thin trim), GekiChopper/Rhino Ranegr (trim all over with white and black) and Deka Swan (half of the suit with white and black). But they could have an orange ranger as a sixth ranger, but commonly sixth rangers are white, green or a metallic color. I think it does have to do with aesthetic and popularity, orange--being a mix of red and yellow, just might be popular among kids. But it hasn't stopped them from making orange mecha/zords, but they probably think a full-on warrior can't cut it.

While most Power Rangers fans know the Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Pink, Green, and White Rangers from multiple series, that hasn't stopped Saban Entertainment from introducing some wilder and less-known Rangers. The onscreen adventures of the Power Rangers have lasted for over 29 years and the Dino Fury series is currently airing. Two dozen different TV series have chronicled the adventures of 22 different Power Rangers teams, making for an impressive array of heroes.

The sixth or seventh member of each Ranger team usually brings a new color, design or powerful Zord with them. Still, Ranger teams have only scratched the surface when it comes to potential new Rangers. With a near-infinite color palette to pull from, perhaps fans will see even more unique Rangers in future series.

8/8 Power Rangers Zeo Introduced The Gold Ranger

Zeo was the next Rangers team to grace the screens of audiences after the success of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Most Mighty Morphin members returned for Zeo, donning new costumes and Ranger colors, like Tommy who ditched his White Ranger duds and became Zeo's Red Ranger leader.

The sixth member of the Zeo Rangers was the Gold Ranger. Trey of Triforia was the first person to don the Gold Ranger costume and the first of the saga to use the golden color. Jason Scott, the original Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, later returned to the series and became Zeo's second Gold Ranger. Despite the name, the Gold Ranger's costume was mostly black with golden gauntlets and shoulder armor.

7/8 Zhane, The Silver Space Ranger, Was A Powerful New Team Member

Power Rangers in Space took the franchise to the stars. The team battled powerful alien forces like the demonic monster known as Dark Specter and his apprentice, Andromeda. This series no longer focused on teenagers with attitudes. The Space Rangers were adults dealing with some pretty mature issues. The family dynamics between Red Ranger Andros, and his sister, Andromeda, led to some of the most heartfelt moments of the series.

Ryan was raised to hate his father and the Power Rangers. He stole the Titanium Morpher and became the first Titanium Lightspeed Ranger. Stylistically, the Titanium Ranger is a variation on Silver Ranger seen in Space. Ryan would serve as an antagonist to the Rangers, much like Tommy's Green Ranger was in Mighty Morphin. Ryan eventually reformed, becoming the Lightspeed Rangers' sixth member.

Hunter and Blake became the Crimson and Navy Thunder Rangers.

The Thunder Rangers proved to be more powerful than the Red, Blue and Yellow Wind Rangers. Thankfully, the brothers would ultimately see through Lothor's lies and join the Wind Rangers. While their costumes are just darker shades of red and blue, Hunter and Blake were the first and only Rangers to use the specific "crimson" and "navy" colors.
