Not an expert but: orange color code is FFA500. It has red and green. I expect when orange hits the sensor, it will register as X amount of read and less than X green?

That is in the rgb color model. In physical world, there are (almost) infinitely many different spectra that could be perceived as same "orange". It is honestly pretty amazing how well human color vision works despite that

That is correct. The sensitivity of the "red" and "green" pixels overlaps in the orange light frequencies.
