There is only ONE "perfect rhyme" for "orange" -- and it only works in certain dialects of English. That is, "door hinge" (the 'h' silent in this case.)

If you are looking for a PERFECT rhyme-- in which the sound of everything from the vowel with the word's main accent to the end of the word-- matches, the ONLY rhyme is "door hinge" and that ONLY in certain dialects of English.

For MOST dialects, you'll have to settle for some sort of "near rhyme" where MOST of the sounds match.

The best match in this case would have to include the accented "OR" (In other words "courage" and "syringe" are NOT to be preferred; also counting against syringe is the fact that the accent falls on a different syllable!)

So I think your best near rhyme would be a two-word rhyme combining a word ending with OR and "inch". Frankly, the only remotely plausible one I can come up with is:
"four inch"
("nch" doesn't match "nge" perfectly, but it's close!)

More useful might be
forage, porridge, storage

which match all but one sound (and that sound is completely omitted, which usually provides a closer match than if some completely unrelated sound is used). Now if you can speak the lines as if you have a cold, they might end up sounding like PERFECT rhymes for "ora(n)ge"!

Next best is to try something like:
foreign, warren, floren, Lauren

These are not quite as good because it lacks the FINAL consonant, which tends to be important in rhyming.

But adding an 's' --warrens, florens, Lauren's -- may improve the rhyme, since the sound (actually a /z/ sound) roughly corresponds to the "g" of orange. In this case, you can add:
Florence, abhorrence, warrants, torrents

Close to this is all the words ending with -ORing (though in this case the i is longer, almost an "ee" sound; but in certain accents that pronounce "ing" with a hard g at the end it almost works!).

So you might use:
flooring, goring, poring, pouring, roaring, scoring, shoring, snoring, soaring, storing, warring, adoring, deploring, exploring, ignoring, imploring, restoring

Hey check this out!!!!

In the song "Business," Eminem rhymes "oranges" with "hinges" and "syringes."

Oh God, Saddam's got his own Laden
With his own private plane, his own pilot
Set to blow college dorm room doors off the hinges
Oranges, peach, pears, plums, syringes
In another song "Role Model", Eminem rhymes "orange" four times.

I'm dumb enough to walk in a store and steal:
So I'm dumb enough to ask for a date with Lauryn Hill:
Some people only see that I'm white, ignorin skill:
Cause I stand out like a green hat with a orange bill:


Hope this helps.
