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).

There are only four common words in the English language that are nearly impossible to rhyme. What is interesting about them is that three of the four are colors, silver, orange and purple.
The other common word that does not have a rhyme is month.
Some other, less common words that have no rhymes are angst and scalp. There are also a whole raft of words ending in "-th", but some of these are number-places and thus are rather odd constructs, eighth, ninth and twelfth. There are also breadth, depth and width.

Orange and flange. Oh, wait, if you say orange correctly they rhyme with each other!
Oops, I think I just wrecked the whole no-rhyme-for-orange thing. Forget it! Just skip that answer! Nevermind!

Orange rhymes with strange.
Silver rhymes with quiver.
Purple with simple.
Or I must be clearly mispronouncing it.
