I'm pretty sure that "orange" is a new colour, which used to be just a red. * Or we may have taken it from the Dutch royals ("oranje"), who used it as their colour, but who wants to admit that?

It came into English from Arabic via Spanish - it was Naranja which mutated into Norange in English, where a norange became an orange. Therefore the fruit would still be an orange, but the colour would be different.

Oranges colour depends on where it is grown. Oranges are subtropical fruit and turn orange when the temperature cools. In hot climates they stay green. Generally when they turn orange they are starting to go off,, but people prefer that colour so the market complies. So why aren't oranges called greens?:confused:
Because you eat greens with ham black-eyed peas, and cornbread.
