No one's really said anything about light blue yet, so I guess little ol' me will have to do. WARNING: potential spoilers.

I'm guessing Orange is supposed to mean that you constantly move, which would explain why the orange items are found in Snowdin, where light blue attacks are introduced, essentially unavoidable in that mode.

Just as orange attacks are opposite of light blue attacks, the light blue soul would be opposite as well. So if your soul is light blue... you're not moving at all. That's right, the poor patience kid was totally helpless, even against Froggits, not even making it as far as Toriel's place, I'd bet. Hence why the faded ribbon and toy knife are in the Ruins.
