Hey there GlitterlySquirrel,

We understand you're seeing an orange icon for one of your contacts. We'll be happy to help clarify about this.

The contact you're seeing this with may have enabled the option to share their name and a photo. This is explained in more detail in the section "Change your name and photo" here: Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let us know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
