Okay, I've never seen this happen, and this not my 1st jalapeno. hehe I like to make chili for football weekends, so for the occasion, yesterday afternoon I went to my local fruit & veg market (the same place I got that 'sweet no-heat' cayenne pepper that led me to this forum last April) and pick up 3 mixed (red and green) bell peppers and a 3 & 1/4" perfectly green jalapeno. I left everything out on the counter all night, and got up at 6 AM to see this....

Now, I did arrange the all the peppers for the camera. They were all sorta together all night, but I can't swear the jalapeno was touching a pepper(s). Is it possible/likely that the already-red/orange/green bells give off a chemical that the jalapeno would pick up and start turning orange? It all happened kinda fast. Maybe the jalapeno was just trying to fit it.
Hmmm....you can't post pics here? Tried to use the 'img' tag, no workie.
