hmm orange..

Fecl3 thought it was bit grey/pinkisch and with O2 contact becomes brownisch/black...... And FeSO4 is green isnt it???
P.S. the orange/redisch one is K3[Fe(CN)6]Potassium ferricyanide
EDIT>>> FeCl3 Hexa Hydrate is orange coloured.....I missed that one.. my appolegies

Other FeCl3 salts are grey to black
