I think the author named the book Code Orange because Mitty stumbles onto a fatal desease.

I think the author called the book "Code Orange" because the alert about possible chemical warfare to New York might be a Code Orange, or a high alert warning.

i think that the author chose the title "Code Orange"because maybe code orange means the infectious disease she was looking for in the books.and maybe the code part of the title makes the disease stand out and that it means that this disease will kill of New York.
