Orange is a 1994 studio album by American punk blues band The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The track "Flavor" features a guest appearance by Beck. The Village Voice ranked the album #16 of the top albums of 1994.[10] The track "Bellbottoms" was included in The Pitchfork 500[11] and the opening scene of the movie "Baby Driver."

In 2005 the album was performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series. The indie rock band BOAT parodied the album's cover art, among several others, on its 2011 release Dress Like Your Idols.
