"If we appear now in a march in the streets with orange, people will think we are settlers," said parliament member Azmi Bishara of the Arab Balad party, which is fundamentally opposed to settlements on Israeli-occupied land.
Orange, displayed on ribbons, flags and shirts, has emerged as a powerful pro-settler symbol in the run-up to the pullout. It is the municipal color of the main Gush Katif Jewish settlement bloc in Gaza.
Bishara said his party has used an orange flag and logo since 1999, and launched the lawsuit after being flooded with calls from constituents.
The Balad party was concerned that use of the same color by ultra-nationalist Jews would damage its image and confuse its anti-occupation message, he said.
It filed its suit in Haifa District Court Thursday to prevent the Yesha settler council and other right-wing groups from using orange, saying the color was now sending a "colonial, racist message" that would make it difficult for Balad to continue using it.
"You build an image. If you look at our logo you will see it is orange. Our flags are the same flags," Bishara said. "Real damage has been done."
The Yesha council said it knew nothing of the suit.
