I'm not sure, but I believe the orange outlets mean that the outlet is protected with backup power, e.g., a generator, in case of lost power from the grid. I've seen these in hospitals. I don't know if it's in the NEC or not.
Anyone?

Just did some reading on the National Electric Code online and cannot find this rule anywhere. What gives?
