Pink Lady is a brand name.
That's true actually! The name of the apple is Cripps Pink!

Nah that's apples
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.

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.
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)?
-
Are you seriously trying to claim that no human ever bled and saw the colour until the 1970s? LOL
Lol no. They are entirely taking the piss.

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

Pendants will argue that black is not a colour
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.

fruits are kind of a dessert, right? so are brownies.

If their piss is red they need to go to the doctor as per this shart

Idk why, maybe because I'm a scientist, but this speaks to something in my soul

A chart made by someone that's never eaten a whole bag of beet chips in one sitting, I see.

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.

I thought briefly about editing that to say, "in this context", but I thought it might be redundant.
It's like the whole fruit/vegetable debate, and there not really being a scientific category of "vegetables" that aligns with the common usage. However, in common usage, the loose, lay definition of "vegetable" is far more useful than the scientific, taxonomical one.
Context is king.

But aren't oranges actually green?
*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.
It might depend on the variety, there are many, many kinds of oranges.

That tracks. Steve Jobs was known for his enjoyment of fruit, to a potentially problematic degree.

I think you misunderstand. If you've eaten a whole bag of beet chips you should see the doctor.

I have tetrachromacy and piss in colors that would drive most into madness.

Sometimes I learn something that makes me think, how the hell had I not figured that out sometime in the past half-century.
