The colour came first. Remember that the fruit could be a tangerine, a Mandarin a jaffa or one of many other various
names. By calling such fruits after their colour made it easier. Similarly we have 'tangerine' as a colour to. Most other fruits have different co lours although there are shades of red such as 'raspberry' and 'strawberry' also. We use 'lemon' too as a colour.

The fruit has been on the planet from the beginning - before there were people here to dream up the name "orange," which was probably first used to describe a color.

oranges are the color orange. r u retarded? the only way that they couldnt hav come at the same time is if something orange came into this world before the orange did.

The color came first, but the name of the color came last...

I'd have to guess that the fruit came first, and the color was named after it.
