Pale orange, there is a 13th magnitude comanion listed as 1' west with two roughly 13th magnitude stars visible in the location, probably the southern of these two.
Checking WDS indicates that both of these stars are listed companions, B and C, with B being the more southerly 13.1m 56.2" at PA 289° and C 12.8m 55.8" at 299°. There are also D, E, and F companions listed. The only of these companions with data listed in SIMBAD is E, 9.5m 165" at 62°, which is revealed by Gaia DR3 to be a background star.
