I am a professional referee and this worries me little bit. The number of conversations we have about yellows and reds are insane. And even with just 2 cards, we do not have consensus on what a card should sometimes be.

Now you add an “orange” card and now these discussions become even more complicated. As someone who doesn’t like dissent as much as the other guy, I do not think this will be a good solution.

This is exactly like VAR. Great in concept, but it will not be executed correctly.

Which is EXACTLY why this "orange card" would be useful. If it's ambiguous whether something should be a yellow or red throw up the orange and send them off for a few minutes
