It's an Orange Screen of Death, which is usually caused by driver conflicts (especially GPU driver issues).
Yellow Screen of Death used to refer to the ASP .NET one (eg see the screenshot here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5443334/asp-net-hacking-the-yellow-screen-of-death) but it's not really a thing any more since it was only in legacy .NET Framework versions.
Huh, I didn't realise the *SOD colour was dependant on the bugcheck context. I always thought it was the OS, like retail windows, insider, Xbox OS etc.
Good to know
