Tower and other aircraft reported an orange flame coming out of right engine (rear) on takeoff roll (later confirmed by flight attendants on right side of aircraft). No fire indications/warnings at any time from engine instruments during or after the abort. Only abnormal instrument indication was the right engine egt temperature of 1051.
