Food

Which came first, orange the fruit or orange the color?

Unlike the question of chicken and egg we know the answer to the similar question of orange the fruit and orange the colour.

The name “orange” to the colour was given after the fruit, as the first instance of the word in Anglo manuscript, “pume orange,” dates back to the 13th century, whereas the first use of the word to describe the color is first noted in the 16th century.
