Grapefruit
Pineapple
Orange

Putting the names of already existing fruits into other names is already lazy enough, but literally naming one after its color? Or did they name the color after the fruit? I guess its another chicken or the egg situation without a real answer?

How about cashew apples? (A fruit that provides our beloved cashews)

Or the Winter Banana, which is actually a strain of apples.

Orange the fruit came before orange the color.

At least as far as words go.

No we know the answer to that. The color was named after the fruit. Originally the color was called "red-yellow"

Kinda, until you realize they're grown from shrubs and not trees.

Edit: Actually its similarity to a pinecone is what got its name.
