You're just proving my point, of how people insist it's still somehow orange.

Sure, almost nothing is perfectly a 60° hue of yellow. But the color orange is all the way at 30°.

And if you look at the HSL values of the juice in product photos like the following, you'll get hue values of around 52°:

That's just straight-up part of the band that we call yellow.

For comparison, here's the first result for "banana" in Google Images:

It's 48°, even closer to orange than orange juice. Yet nobody goes around insisting that bananas are "on the orange side of yellow".

It's a case of linguistics somehow trumping what we literally see with our own eyes. It's actually quite astonishing how strong the effect is, even when it's pointed out to you.
