You would be able to guess a lot better given Munsell coordinates, CIECAM02 JCh (or even lightness, chroma, and hue composition), or in a pinch CIELAB LCh. I find NCS coordinates less useful, but some people like those too.
In CIECAM02 assuming a fairly typical context:
J: 55.5 ... C: 78.7 ... h: 43.3° ... hue composition 43Y 57R
From which it is immediately obvious we are talking about a slightly lighter than mid-gray, very intense, slightly reddish orange.
None of the versions you listed are close to intuitive for a human reader who hasn’t spent a lot of time memorizing the mapping between representation and color.
