Vomitus appearing orange-yellow is generally associated with the color of bile and commonly occurs following severe vomiting, which can alter the color of vomitus. It is important to evaluate for underlying gastric disorders and also assess for gastrointestinal infections, as these conditions may cause intense vomiting and subsequent bilious vomiting.
