Looking for recommendations on 46mm yellow/orange color filters. Are the Leica brand ones worth the price? 

Bests,

Any brand will do, modern filters are usually multicoated which is a good thing.  In terms of price i dont think that Leica offers anything above the others to justify the premium. 

My filter set is mixture of B+W and Heliopan in 39, 46, 49, 55, 67mm filter sizes, also Leica in 60mm and series VIII.  Happen to have few older Nikon filters in 52mm but don't use any lens with 52mm thread on M camera.

Second B+W - the only brand color filters I use on my cameras.

Heliopan filters are also worthy of consideration.

Any name-brand filter will work. I use Heliopan, B+W, and Hoya indiscriminately, and they all seem to be fine.

I’ve had worse problems with focus shift due to CA than due to supposed differences in glass quality.
