Orange is one of those words that famously has nothing perfectly to rhyme with it. The other one is silver. However, the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary does show both these words as having half-rhymes (such as lozenge with orange and salver with silver).
The principle of a half-rhyme in these cases is quite simple. Whereas a full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver (technically speaking, pararhymes) has obvious differences between vowels in certain syllables.

Lozenge, as in
A small aromatic or medicated candy
Pill: a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet
A lozenge is a rhombus which usually has two corners pointing up and down that are farther apart than the corners pointing sideways. It is often used in parquetry and as decoration on ceramics, silverware, and textiles.

not perfectly....but words that end in 'age' might work:
in ex.
storage
forage
voyage
marriage
though the half-rhymes are probably more artistically accurate, if there is such a thing.
