Is that DNP stands for dinitrophenol or dinitrophenylhydrazine?
Don't stare at me making fumes... I'm just experimenting with some gas...

Deep orange does not indicate much, since most nitroaromatics have yellow-orange hue anyway.
The product should consist of overnitrated (picric acid) and mono- nitration products so temperature control should be applied (though I do not have
data on exact reaction conditions).
Is column chromatography available for you? That way you could separate out the side products away.
