Why is my chromate orange? Isn't it yellow?

I mixed sodium hydroxide and potassium dichromate. The solution is very alkaline. Why it still a little bit orange?

Can you post a picture of the color?

My bought sodium dichromate is bright orange?

I added more sodium hydroxide to the solution. It changed to yellow. So I think the problem solved.
