Polish seim issued health regulations for mikvaos in 1920s. Presumably they required soap but not red for commies or brown for nazis. Chofetz Chaim called to both lobby against the laws and also collect funds for mikva upgrades. So if Aguda did the upgrades, they would not use blue and white either. They tried black but old fashioned women didn’t associate it with tahora, so orange was the compromise and we can’t change the tradition since that.
