You're correct in pointing out that the odds of #FF4A00 being selected randomly are the same as the odds of #EAF7C2 being selected randomly; just as the odds of the Powerball numbers 1 2 3 4 5 P6 being selected randomly are just the same as the odds of the Powerball numbers 1 36 40 52 53 P20 being selected randomly. However, the odds of the former sets being selected non-randomly are greater.
