Just a little fun fact: the color was actually named after the fruit and not the other way around
“The word "orange" came into English from the Old French "pomme d'orenge", which referred to the fruit.”
There are still blackberries though…

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.

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.
