so I am seeing this view on my FR24.

Can I know what do the orange airways and the white airways mean?

They're yellow and white designated airways taken from actual nav charts and are explained here;

Yellow- Officially Designated Airways
White- new RNAV airways

They are somewhat simplified, probably in order to reduce clutter as well as server load- for example low altitude routes would normally include minimum safe altitude levels so you don't run into obstructions whilst flying. They can be one way or two way and are designated accordingly.

I found this on youtube which helps to at least explain something of the low altitude airways;

Skyvector gives you a better idea as to what they all look like (with WAC charts, TAC charts , Enroute charts etc for some areas) but can't be used for actual navigation purposes. Have a look at these and you'll soon understand why they are simplified on FR24;
