The Origin of the Color Orange

Yo, so do they call an orange orange because of the color or the fruit? Lowkey, I think they named it orange because some painter was like, 'Check this orange sphere, I shall call it orange!' Gosh, so creative, right? Imagine Old English vibes: 'Thou sphere brought opon me is rather exquisite, I shall bestow the classification orange after thy chroma.' Like, maybe they saw it shining bright and said, 'That is the sun in fruit form!' But wait, most oranges are not fully orange, they got some green. So how did they pick the name? Maybe someone just lowkey got lazy with the naming. Either way, orange vibes are strong!
