Again, pictures will help.
Talking about colors, temperatures and stuff does not help much without identifying what dendrobium is being talked about.

That's true to a degree.
I did mention that the leaf color was a general guideline, not a definitive rule. It is true that some orchids just naturally have darker leaves, and it is irrespective to the amount of light the orchid is receiving.
Talking about temperatures provides a part of the information that would otherwise be missing in order to troubleshoot the issue once the ID of the
Dendrobium is determined or roughly determined.
It is preferable to also know what the name on the tag actually says in order to properly ID the
Dendrobium in question, (provided the plant actually came with a name tag), since, as far as we know, there are no photos of the flowers. A pic of the plant in-and-of itself can only go so far with the ID'ing process.
Otherwise, as we all stated, any kind of pics of the orchid
does help to some degree or another in the overall sense of troubleshooting the problem.
For reference purposes:
8 C = 46.4 F (recent cold spell)
15 C = 59 F (winter night)
25 C = 77 F (winter day)
