I can't tell orange from yellow
Hi,
What's the best way to say something like this in Spanish? The easy and colloquial form of distinguish? |

I'd use distinguir.
No puedo distinguir entre el amarillo y el anaranjado.

I've found also no sé distinguir. Nothing else, or so it seems.

No puedo distinguir = no sé distinguir.
Some other possible ways to express the same: - No distingo un color del otro. - No veo la diferencia entre un color y el otro. - No veo en qué se distingue un color del otro. - No puedo saber cuál es el amarillo y cuál es el naranja/anaranjado.
