Why did we play with them, and when did we stop?

Amber.

FFS.

1969/70.

As Eggs says, it was Amber not Orange. It was a little tweak when a kit clash occurred, rather than change the whole kit. Why we haven’t returned to this traditional change kit of amber shirts, blue shorts and amber socks? But then again, I’m still fuming about us not wearing blue socks with white tops for our regular kit. See 1966 cup final (our greatest ever line up btw)
Wasn't this so people could differentiate between the teams on old black and white tv? I'm sure I was told this years ago as red and blue look the same when there's no colour
 

It's funny because I have an amber and blue scarf that I take to games sometimes in the winter, and supporters of both the other sides and even some of my fellow Evertonians are confused by it

I've always known the main colours of Everton to be Blue, White and Amber/Yellow, and that's coming from someone who grew up in the 90's
