The Orange Area is one of the sections in the game Ib. As the name suggests, all of the rooms are orange. The Orange Area is past the extra stairway in the dark gallery, after Ib and Garry (should he be alive) exit the Sketchbook. The entrance will only appear if Ib had exited the cursed gallery through the Fabricated World painting in a previous playthrough on the same file.

In the first room, the paintings Concealed Secret and Deja Vu can be seen. The next room has a Save Point by the entrance, and harbors a large green snake, which is hanging out of its painting and, consequently, is seeping on the floor, effectively becoming an obstacle for Ib by blocking off the path. The Truant Seconds Hand sculpture can also be seen, with the hands of the clock gone.

Travelling upwards leads to a corridor to the right containing five different paintings, including one of an anthill which can be removed. Going back and travelling up farther leads to corner, then a hole in the floor that Ib can't cross. A white ant wanders around near the hole, and Ib can lay the painting down across the hole, causing the ant to enter the painting and allow Ib to use the painting as a bridge across the hole.

Carrying on left will go past the Stubborn Twins at the top of the area, but trying to walk past them causes them to grab Ib with vines and attack her until her rose loses all it's petals. There is another save point in the top left corner, and travelling down and to the right leads Ib to two doors, on the other side of the sleeping snake.

The left door leads to a dark room that doesn't have enough light to see, and Garry's lighter doesn't work when used. The right door leads to a room with multiple boxes, with Mistake on the left side of the room and a wall writing and the tail of Sleeping Snake on the right side of the room. Pulling the snake's tail moves it from the corridor, allowing Ib to pass.

Going farther into the room leads to corridors that have needles launched towards Ib. At the end of the corridor is a black rose, which breaks when stepped on, stopping the needles being launched. On the left is a butterfly stuck to the walls by needles, which Ib can remove, freeing the butterfly. On the right is Beyond Halcyon Skies. As Ib returns to the front of the room, Mistake jumps out of his painting, and tries to attack Ib while she tries to capture the butterfly.

Soon after Ib leaves the room, the butterfly escapes and flys into one of the paintings, causing it to glow. Ib can then take the glowing painting off the wall, and use it to enter the dark room. Once entering the Dark Room, Ib can use the light to traverse the room. Paintings are located on the northern wall. Malice's True Form is on the northwest side, and after Ib and Garry examine it, it will leave its frame when they walk away. The middle of the northern wall has a switch to activate the Truant Seconds Hand, which is required to complete the puzzle. The northeast corner has Prelude to Wine on display.

Entering the code "72391" on the panel under Truant Second Hand causes the hands to move, turning the room to night. Stubborn Twins have fallen asleep, but the door behind them is locked. The white ant returns hungry, and refuses Garry's candy if he is offered it. Ib has to return the room Mistake is found in and check Overfilled Night Sky (which used to be Beyond Halcyon Skies). Shaking the painting causes some Stardust to fall out, which Ib can give to the ant in exchange for the Orange Key, which Ib can use to unlock the door behind Stubborn Twins and travel to the Cyan Area.
