The BR always, without exception, may use the colored portion of the base.

If the fielder jumps up and comes down solely on the orange base, the runner veers to avoid a collision and does not touch either base, do we rule safe as in the case where a runner passes the base (but doesn't touch it) prior to the fielder receiving the ball?

If the defender does not have the ball and is impeding the runner's attempt to progess to a base, that is OBS no matter what base.
