orange...why?

because it makes it easier for opponents to narrow his range down. i rarely cold call with sc's for this same reason. a decent player will know what you're cold calling with. the same applies to small pairs to some extent. although i feel you can get away with cold calling more at $100nl than $200nl+.

I'm guessing that this isn't correct. People who cold call do it with broadway cards, pairs, SC, etc.
The reason to RR with SCs is to isolate your opponent in position. A large part of your profit is going to be from taking the pot down when you whiff or are semi-bluffing. You can't do this if you call and the blinds call as well, or if you allow your opponent to have the initiative going to the flop. You're also going to want a free card sometimes, which you can get if they are checking to the raiser.
