Fruit Orange
What came first: the color Orange or the the fruit Orange?
Did people name the fruit orange because they knew the color orange? Or did they name the color after seeing the fruit?
The name for the fruit came first.
Orange is the color of an orange fruit, which is the origin of the name of the color.
Before the orange fruit was introduced to England in the 1500s, this color was called red-yellow.
The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in 1512, in the court of King Henry VIII.
The name of the fruit was NARANJ in Sanskrit, because of mis-hearing it became ARANGE.
Over time, the initial A became an O to give an ORANGE.
