Fun Fact of the day: The word for the colour 鈥榦range鈥� came after the fruit
That鈥檚 right. Stop the presses. The colour orange is named after the appearance of the ripe orange fruit. The word comes from the Old French term for the fruit, pomme d鈥檕range. The French word, in turn, comes from the Italian arancia which has its roots in Arabic and Sanskrit. The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in 1502, in a description of clothing purchased for Margaret Tudor.
