Any idea why the leaf on my burgundy rubber tree is turning orange? It’s a lower leaf. Otherwise seems healthy.

I would check for pests and try to rule out any possible damage from over-fertilizing/not diluting fertilizer enough. If neither seem possible in your case, it could be fungal. You might wanna quarantine it from your other plants until you can narrow it down. Hope this helps!
