Because a slight orange hue is a mark of good cheese, so fluorescent orange must be even better, right?
At this point it's just tradition, and people in anglo North America don't realise it's not naturally that colour.
Well my favorite cheese is Longhorn Colby and frankly, I don't care what color it is.
Oh boy, if you'd named just about any other cheese, this sentiment would make sense, but Colby gets its orange color from the annatto added to it. Without the annatto, it's very similar to Monterrey Jack.
