Issue

The monochromatic glyphs in this font for the large colored shapes U+1F7E0..U+1F7EB use the same heraldic hatchings as the glyphs in the Unicode code chart, except for U+1F7E0 and U+1F7E7. In the code chart, they use crossed horizontal lines and diagonally rising lines. In this font, they use crossed horizontal lines and vertical lines, which usually represents sable, i.e. black. Although there is no requirement to match the convention used by Unicode, the fact that the other shapes do match implies that this hatching for orange may not have been intentional.
