That's still kinda screwing up the whole Color Coded For Your Convenience thing.

The entire reason Monty made Dust come in all sorts of rainbowy colors was so we could tell what was being used. His original design had all of the Dust in Myrtenaster be red so it would go with Weiss' outfit, considering the red on the inside collar of her bolero. He thought different colors would kind of clash and be ugly. But then he realized, if all Dust was the same color, things would be a bit more difficult and confusing for the audience, so he went "Fuck it" and color coded all the different types of Dust.

It's color coded so we know what types are being used. Having Cinder use red Dust but making it glow bright-ass orange just confuses us and completely defeats the purpose of the color coding.

I don't see any reason why we can't assume she is using orange Dust. I mean, it quite clearly exists.

And the best possibility for orange is lava because, as I've said before


 * Blablah black glass swords blablah obsidian blah volcanic eruptions blablablah.


 * The shot Glynda blocked in V1E1 splattered on the ground as if liquid, blablablah, eruption in the area the liquid splattered blablah.

Lava is pretty much really, really hot liquid earth stuff. Who knows, maybe you mix fire Dust and stone Dust to make lava Dust or something. It's entirely possible that mixing Dust behaves like a chemical reaction, meaning that the color of the product doesn't always make sense given the reactants' colors. I mean, hey, Dust is supposed to be science in their world.
