Well, I know they had the fruit called orange, then called the colour orange 'orange#' because they couldn't think of anything else. Apparently.

The fruit was named first see the explanations above. The colour is called orange AFTER the fruit because that is the colour it is. And why is the guy above wearing my hat ?

an Orange is called an Orange, because it is Orange, tastes like an Orange, looks like an Orange,.....thus we call it an Orange,.....also because the name Banana was already used,.....would you rather call it a green??,.....

Prepare to be bored witless!
"Orange" 14th century via Old French from Old Provencal "auranja", from Arabic "naranj", from Persian "narang", from Sanskrit "naranga" probably of Dravidian origin.
It doesn't say why the Arabs or Persians called it that, though.
