So sorry Divinder22,
You are confusing bonsai styles with pre-bonsai etymology. The orange cone style is actually an advanced form of show ready bonsai rarely seen. In Japanese it is called 'ica crema cona' (eye-sa kree-ma ko-na) style. The orange color is non-contributory to the definition and the leaves are still typically green, unless it is a deciduous tree prior to the vernal equinox.
