Might be interesting to test for nitrates.  They are one of the common forms
of silver that is that soluble.

There is no compound of silver that I can find that is orange.  It could be
a combination of a yellow and a red compound of silver, but I suspect it is
just food coloring.  Compounds of silver that are yellow and red..

Yellow

Silver arsinite
Silver Bromide (pretty well insoluble)
Silver Carbonate
Silver Chlorite
Silver Fluoride
Silver difluoride
Silver Periodate
Silver Iodide
Silver mercury iodide (insoluble)
Silver Orthophosphate
Silver Orthotellurate (insoluble)
Silver Tellurite          (insoluble)
Silver Tungstate

Yellow brown

Silver nitroplatinate

Red

Silver arsinate
Silver Chromate
Silver dichtomate
Silver Indomercurate (insoluble)
Silver thioantimonite  (insoluble)
Silver thioarsenite     (insoluble
