The colour is named after the fruit.

I stand corrected.
Oranges are not the only fruit.
George Anders Ray Eddie Tony Herbert Posted Oct 30, 2009
Apparently the word orange comes from the Old French orenge, which comes from the Arabic naranj, which itself comes from the Persian narang, which comes from the Sanskrit naranga which means 'orange tree' so I guess the colour is named after the fruit.

An Orange is called an Orange because you can't wash a window with a shovel. Bertrand Russell; "Aspects of Philosophical Debate" Hodder & Stoughton 1936

"Vimto isn't very nice."
Indeed, it's vile. I would rather drink bile. 'Cause I've got style.

''An Orange is called an Orange because you can't wash a window with a shovel.''
Well yes you can, actually. Put the shovel in a bucket of water, it will gather some water and chuck that water onto the window and BANG! The window is washed.
I'm upset!!!!
