While Washington State specifies "fluorescent hunter orange," there is no definition of same in the regs, or the revised code of Washington, or, for that matter, on the Sherwin Williams site.

although wikipedia gives this dfinition for "safety orange:"

Approximate PMS (Pantone) Color (actually, mixing directions):

13 parts Yellow, 3 parts Warm Red, 1/4 part Black

Safety orange is the same color as blaze orange, the shade of orange (Color No. 12199) required by United States law (U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 15 Commerce and Foreign Trade, Section 1150.3) to be on the tips of barrels of replica guns such as airsoft guns, and cap or toy guns


although, the federal standard color referenced looks like this:

So, I wear orange that looks orange and we'll let the judge sort out the details if it comes to that.
