Hypos (or Orangetails) is the name given to most Hypos from Central American bloodlines. 99.9% of the Hypos or Salmons you see marketed are mixed from on of those two bloodlines. They are outcrossed enough to be legitimately given the name Colombian, but they are not 100% pure Colombian.
I must correct some information you provided. Switch the origination of the lines.

The Salmon hypo is Rich Ihle's line which originated from Central America(possibly Panama but not proven). He bred out to Colombian bloodlines. So the majority of Salmons are a higher percentage Colombian since the originating father was Columbian.

The Orangetail hypo is from Panama. Jeff Gee kept his bloodline Panama. He bred Panama to Panama. I have some of these and they are different from the Salmons. They are definitely more orange. They tend to be smaller as well. I have a 5 year old male who is only 4 1/2 feet. The female (not in pic) is also 5 years old and about 6 feet 14 lbs. Normal Columbian females are more closer to 20+ lbs at this length.

Now it isn't easy to find pure non-mixed Orange tails out there since alot of people are easily confused on what hypo they have and they tend to breed to Columbians to get the albino and other morphs. But when you do find them they are definitely breath taking as they get better in color with age.

It may look crazy orange but that is how my boas look. Not photoshopped.
Head to tail they are pinkish orange. Pictured is my male Gee line and on the right is a baby from G to G. On the bottom I have my male G with a normal so you can see the color difference. Actually they are breeding.
