It's your car, it's your call. Personally, I would stick with silver.

I'd like to see this orange color

Stick with silver if you can't afford to paint the entire car (jams, engine bay, etc..)
Nothing worst than a nice exterior color and then to find an OEM colored engine bay

I would recomend that you stay with the stock color. Not trying to discourage you but my EK was silver and I had the bright idea to do a color change on my car. The color that we chose was PPG bright orange with a fukton of pearl. Dont get me wrong. I love my car but sometimes I just thing I would have been happier if i would have left it alone. Besides the cost of materials (paint, clear, base, reducer, tape, paper,sandpaper) 1100. You also have to look at how much labor is gonna be. If you pay somebody to do it right its gonna cost you a little more. Trust me on this one. If you decide to do a color change........Pay the extra and get it done right. You wont be disappointed.
