I use it sparingly. Orange is my "I don't want anyone and everyone joining on me, but I don't mind a request" status, and that seems to work pretty well until I'm in a situation where green status is fine. There have been multiple occasions where an awkward situation could have been avoided if I was on orange, and I'd rather have someone annoyed at my status than have their anxiety or embarrassment flare up from inserting themselves into a place where they seem uninvited. Or mine.
If someone's orange and you want to see them in specific, go ahead and send a request. It's the gap between being green and being in private for a reason, and if you get triggered by specific people always being orange or feeling like a creep from sending invite requests you should ask yourself why.
