Fruit

Actually, the color is named after the fruit. It wasn't until the late Middle Ages that we discovered anything other than the redcurrant that was red in color. Poppies, for example, were only discovered in ~1917, and we only found out about blood in the 1970s.
Fuck.
Greengages.

Red apple, green apple red strawberries, yellow strawberries, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, purple tomatoes (although purple isn't a real color by itself). Oh and red berries.
You might argue it's not the fruit's name, but when you say "honny, can you get me some apples from the store while you're going there please?" and she comes back with green apples, while you wanted red apples, you'd be like "fuck. I should have named it better, I only asked for half the name of what I wanted, now I need to hit my wife to blame her and hide my mistake". So my point here is, not naming the color of the fruit in its name is the cause for domestic violence.

Greengage?

Which is a colour named after the fruit iirc
And the fruit is named after the tree.

I'm pretty sure orange and cherry are named after the fruit, but Blackberry is true.
The source for this is old reddit threads, so hardly authoritative, but supposedly the color orange was actually named after the food item.

Cripps Pink however, is a name of an apple.

Pink Lady is a brand name.

Yes indeed. Before we had "orange", and also "purple" everything was just "red" which is why we have red onions and red cabbage that are anything but red and several species of bird are called red despite being clearly orange coloured.

Are you seriously trying to claim that no human ever bled and saw the colour until the 1970s? LOL

wrote on last edited by [email protected]those fuckers try to sell their fruit by using a brand's name. They even got the design wrong, it's supposed to have a curved side.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Dear Mr Encyclopedia, when were raspberries discovered? Wasn't Avalon "the isle of apples?" When did Christian bibles start describing the forbidden fruit as "apples?" Were they not red apples?
What color did they call ripe ribe avu-crispa (a gooseberry)?

Lol no. They are entirely taking the piss.

In tropical countries, orange rinds may be permanently green – even when completely ripe.
Crazy!

Physicists might argue that, but black is a color linguistically and in common usage; I'd argue that since OP was generally speaking in a linguistic context, linguistic rules override physics pedantry.
