Beta-carotene does turn people orange, and there is beta-carotene in carrots. However, you would still have to eat a huge amount of carrots to turn orange, although if you were drinking a lot of carrot juice it becomes more achievable.
(These days beta-carotene is sold in capsule form for people wishing to have a year-round tan/orange glow).

∙ 14y agoAn orange color of the skin (carotenodermia) can be caused by eating large amounts of carrots (or a number of other foods) over a prolonged period. The effect is normally harmless and temporary, and is often noted in young children. However, this coloring of the skin may be due to a number of diseases that prevent the metabolism of carotene. So a persistent condition should be diagnosed by a physician. During World War 2, pilots in England could be regularly identified by the orange color to their skin, large amounts of carrots being fed to them to improve eyesight! (See related link)

A person would have to have a massiveconsumption of carrots each day in order to trigger carotenosis (which is not dangerous). By massive, we're talking about >1kg every day.
