Holy fuck
-
I mean, orange was right there...
Just a little fun fact: the color was actually named after the fruit and not the other way around
βThe word "orange" came into English from the Old French "pomme d'orenge", which referred to the fruit.β
There are still blackberries thoughβ¦

I think this might have been a joke abstracted to allude to that, without falling for the trap. Oranges were not named after the color, the color was named after the fruit.

Leaves are fruits? Eh?

But aren't oranges actually green?
*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.
Oranges are green until they are ripe. What tropical place did you see a ripe green orange?

Vietnam. Brazil. Ecuador. A lot of equatorial places.
The orange color is caused by something happening to the chlorophyll when the temperatures cool. But in the tropics, temps can be fairly steadily warm and don't trigger that reaction.

Huh, TIL. I worked at an orange grove in the subtropics, and knew about the cold snap for other aspects of citrus, I never knew about the peel.

I'm pretty sure orange and cherry are named after the fruit, but Blackberry is true.

Pendants will argue that black is not a colour
