This filament from Prusa research is amazingly bright orange. It definitely has exceeded my camera’s sensor. It may be subtle interactions with UV which makes it extra bright. I will work on improving the photo. Over time the Prusa Orange has shifted as I have parts from different times that each has a slight variation on shade. Now that Prusa is developing their own filament I suspect the color will become more consistent. Prusa filament is sold in 1kg sizes on plastic spools. However due to location it can have a high shipping cost.
