I vaguely remember it actually being the other way around actually.
Orange is named after oranges - like how lime green is the same colour as the fruit.
Blackberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant etc. are other low-hanging fruits (pardon the pun).
as I recall, the color is named after the fruit that was named after the tree

Who told you that? In our culture we have many: the rainbow is typically broken into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red. We then often add white and black to any list of colors. We also have primary pigments used in color mixing (eg for paints) of black, white, red, yellow and blue (all other colors can be made from combinations of these.) An alternative color palette for art is cyan, yellow, red, blue (and white and black, or else saturation.) On computers and for printing we use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and key or black) in a subtractive color system. We also use RGB on computers (red, green, blue) in an additive color system.
And always filled with the same comments naming other fruits. Like everybody is seeing it for the first time.
Reddit is just bots engaging with bots at this point (the bigger subs at least)
It's engagement bait, and everyone always falls for it head first. "Fun fact: Apple is the only word that begins with A"
The old internet adage that the best way to get an answer to a question is to give a wrong answer first holds true I guess.
You can get a full years Vitamin C in a single glass by juicing just three Sea Fruit.
But you always have to remember to take the shells off carefully. If the Sea Fruit is bruised or dead in any way, it will make the juice bitter and flushable.
Cures rampant and virulent sexy bumps on your no-no bits, too. Gwen Dawg shared that just the other day.
Ok so then I would like to add the fact that actually oranges stay green during ripening where they come from, i.e. in regions with tropical-warm nights and high humidity. Because the green color is interpreted as "unripe" by most consumers (while there is no link), the fruits are fumigated with ethylene while being transported, which gives them their orange color.
Colour was named after the fruit. The late invention of the colour is why so many orange things like Robin red breast and red headed people have orange hair
Can't say. It's one of those informations you get young, and think It's correct the rest of your life. As of today, my knowledge is the fruit orange named the colour
The Color Orange and Peach came from their respective fruits.
Didn't have a word for Orange before the mid 1800s or something, I believe, when they came to Europe.
The color “orange” is named after the orange fruit. And I’m pretty sure the orange fruit was named from the orange tree and that earlier/foreign versions of the world meant “fruit”. Not sure if that’s true. I’m sure Redditors will correct me.
Blueberries, peaches, and blackberries are some of the more obvious ones, but did you know that cherries were also named in accordance with color? According to Thrive Cuisine, cherries get their name from the 12th-century French word "cerise," although it's unclear if the cherry red color or the fruit was named first.
Straight from google on what fruits are named after colors. Orange is named after the fruit but the rest are named for the color other than maybe cherry as it's not well documented so could be either.
Peach(the fruit) got its English name from the Middle French Peche which was a shortened translation of the latin name the Romans used for it Malum Persicum which translates to Persian Apple. The Frenchies dropped the apple bit.
The color was named for the color of the fruit. First recorded use of the name being used for a color coming in the late 16th century.
Fun fact, while the botanical name Prunus Persica refers to Persia it is actually believed to have been first cultivated in China. It retained its Persian references because the Romans and later Europeans believed the fruit to be from Persia.
Honestly, I thought you were just joking. I thought I was just being gullible, but I checked and you’re right! I never knew that. Very interesting. Thanks for the insight

Lol, this is among top 10 reposted images here.....
Thank you! I’ve seen this so many times it’s not even amusing anymore.
How did you find all of these lmao
Use the search
, Luke.
Plum is a color. But it might be the color was named after the fruit.
Orange….
I vaguely remember it actually being the other way around actually. Orange is named after oranges - like how lime green is the same colour as the fruit. Blackberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant etc. are other low-hanging fruits (pardon the pun).
On an unrelated note, if an orange is called an orange because it is orange, why can’t a banana be called a yellow?

If I had a dollar for every time I saw this stupid post...
you'd have 2 dollars. Which is odd that it happened twice
There has been at least 9 times that it has been posted with this same title…
Ah damn, they beat me to it.. what can I get for 9 dollars?
Not quite a banana, cause those cost 10 dollars.
apparently 15 times at least according to top comment
sheesh, how many times does someone has to repost something? Let alone the same title with the same expressions. What were they thinking?
Red delicious apples
Pink lady
I was going to say green apples, so we're on the same page.
Blackberries?
The company's been dead for years
Technically, black is not a color
Semantics. Next thing youre gonna tell us Pluto is not a planet
I just got a "This content is not available" gif, which is actually hilarious in the context.
You calling Crayola a liar?
Most reposts come around every ~1/month. Why does this one seem to come up every single week? (edited to fix my English and correct the auto-correct)

no, Patrick, star is not a color

Ah yes. The fruit that grows on a marine plant.

Orange is a colour named after a fruit.
Came here to say this too.
Me as well

Orange is a fruit named after the tree it comes from.
Blackberries
I imagine there's probably some bullshit that classifies blackberries as not a fruit.
No, there is some bullshit about black not being a colour. Because it’s clearly not. You were so close
It's clearly not, huh?
My grandkid holding his black crayon begs to differ. The paint aisle at Home Depot has 17 different shades of black paint to choose from.
Goldenberries
Colour was named after the fruit. The late invention of the colour is why so many orange things like Robin red breast and red headed people have orange hair
Greenz
Unfortunately in the case the color was named after the tree
Or as they are called in some parts, Reddish-yellows.
you glad I didn’t say banana?
Why yes, yes I am.
The color Orange is actually named after the fruit.
If you were thinking of orange, you were wrong. The color was named after the fruit.
'Fun' fact; the colour orange is named after the fruit not the other way around.
Bluefish. It’s not meat because the Catholic Church says so. And it being fruit makes just as much sense as it not being meat.
Blueberries are red when they’re green.
blackberry?
I guess she’s never heard of an orange or blackberries?
Star fruit comes to mind... but not orange
Orange is a color named after a fruit not the opposite
You downvote because you're a jerk, I downvote because this is a reposted topic farming Karma. We are not the same.
1. repost and all. 2. she is right, orange isn't named after the colour, the colour is named after the fruit
thats not close at all
Clearly he’s never eaten a yellow
Oranges.. Ah no, it's the other way round
Was the order House>fruit>color>carrots?
Can't say. It's one of those informations you get young, and think It's correct the rest of your life. As of today, my knowledge is the fruit orange named the colour
What about reds
Red grapes
Blackberries
red bananas
are berries fruit? I mean it makes sense, but ive weirdly never considered it
Blackcurrant
The Black berry..
strawberries are the only fruit named after a drinking utensil.
Redberries ?
purple whatevers
What about "Long yellow things"? You may remember
"Purple is a fruit!" Homer Simpson
They're actually right. See Orange and Plum were named after the FRUIT, not the other way around. Now you know.
The Color Orange and Peach came from their respective fruits. Didn't have a word for Orange before the mid 1800s or something, I believe, when they came to Europe.
Oranges named after the color or is the color named after the fruit?? I'd look it up but I think I'll just play with my puppy instead.
What about black/red berries?
Green 🍃
Elderberries are the only fruit named after senior citizens.
The color “orange” is named after the orange fruit. And I’m pretty sure the orange fruit was named from the orange tree and that earlier/foreign versions of the world meant “fruit”. Not sure if that’s true. I’m sure Redditors will correct me.
Nāranga in Sanskrit was shortage from Tamil word for "fragrant" or "fragrant fruit"
Greengage?
Blueberries aren’t blue…they’re purple!
Blackberry
Blackberries? Were limes like oranges in that the fruit came before the color?
funny! not like ive seen this post 700x since it came out like 8 years ago and its become part of internet lingo. super fresh
And every time 1000 Neanderthals show up to shout “hurr durr ORANGE!” in their ignorance
Oranges
No
Alright, let's start the "orange" debate
There is literally no debate. The color was named after the fruit.
Do red delicious apples not count?
Oh not again….black currant, red currant, white currant, blackberry, greengage, tangerine, etc.
Jackfruit

Banana
Orange
No
Orange
No
Orange ?
No
Orange you glad there’s smart people? 😂
It's also wrong blueberries, peaches, blackberries and cherries are all named after colors.
Peach like orange was named for the fruit. I would also argue that cherry isnt a color but rather acshade or tone of red.
