No, orange is not a normal color for menstrual blood. It can range anywhere from light pink to a dark brown. Dark Brown just represents the older blood and usually appears on the last day or two. If you are seeing an orange color, you need to see a doctor immediately. This could be a sign of an infection.

I experienced the same thing. The lightbulb thing is true. Squiggley lights turn mestrual blood orange!

Answer by  Anonymous

Did you recently change the lightbulbs in your bathroom? I just changed mine to the curly type of bulb and my menstrual period turned orange. I checked the TP under a normal florescent light and it was red. Who knew?

You could be low on B12, which helps to make red blood cells. This is a common deficiency for vegetarians. Try taking B12 suppliments.
