I used to use Yasaka Tornado rubber long time ago before the two color rule that only allowed red and black.
Then I read somewhere more colors are allowed now.
Is Orange approved ?

ITTF LARC of Januart 2025 says Brown is an approved color

It is weird because if you view the LARC in html format it does not show it
But if you download Excel file it will show it.
Please see attachment at the bttom
Therefore as far as I am concerbed , it is approved
