adjust the color in the actual entity properties.

This should be pretty much what you want, however to make it just a tad bit orange will take a lot of trial and error. In my experience I never got an orange light_environment to look quite right. The in game threshold between red and yellow is very limited in terms of being able to distinguish the difference.

The midground I found is ok-ish, but you'd need to find a cl_skyname that would go with it. You can try this and see how it looks in your map:

map -> map properties -> cl_skyname: night

light_environment setup:

pitch: -60
brightness: 222 46 1 1

This should be all you need. If this is too dark for you, increase the last number ("1") to something higher (like 2 or 3). Any higher and it'll get bright real quick.

If you want something darker there's not much you can do short of using orange colored texture lights only.

yep. Just place a bunch of spotlights where you want some light to be.
Have everything else dark.
Not much else you can do unless you get the env working properly.

Actually, a good mix of spot lights, point lights and tex lights.
