Light follow geodesics in space-time that have no relation to its energy/
frequency/whatever. The circular light orbit around a black hole is the
same regardless of what kind of light it orbiting.
Inside the "light orbit" orbiting around the hole makes you fall in
*faster*. This is one of the peculiar aspects of near-hole space.
