Orange is only required when you are hunting. So if you are just working on the stand and didn't bring a gun/bow/spear along then you wouldn't need to wear it. Probably still a good idea to wear it though.

Yes, if you are hunting it is still required for you to wear orange after dark. Some folks have been known to shine a light at deer and shoot them after dark. As soon as a light hits a blaze orange cap or vest it becomes very clear that you are not a deer.
