All I've ever used is Orange and White pads. The orange pad seems like it's a lot harder to buff the polish off and I spend a lot more time with the MF getting the residue off than I do with the white pad. How does the yellow pads compare? I use FI 2 and SMR, occasionally PI. I was thinking of getting a fresh set of pads this year and was thinking of going yellow instead of orange.
Orange Pad vs. Yellow Pad

Lake Country's (the manufacturer) yellow pad is their most aggressive cutting pad; 1 step moreso than the orange.
It is the equivalent of Meg's maroon pad.
Only use it if you need something more aggressive- the orange shuold suffice for most details, although it's nice to have a yellow on hand incase you need it occasionally.

The Propel orange pad is great IMO. It's the perfect aggressiveness for removing swirls.
I haven't used the yellows yet since it's still too cold to do much of any detailing, but I have stocked up on pads for the upcoming season.
I got 3 yellows, 3 orange, and 2 green pads. I already have 3 white (Meg's) and 3 tan (Meg's finishing pads).

I, personally, don't car for orange pads too much. My go-to paint correction pad is always yellow, and will sometimes follow up with the orange or skip the orange all together and go straight to a Sonus green or LC white.
