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

      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.

                  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.

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

                                    Apparently oranges and other citrus fruit (and others, like bananas) are "degreened" with ethylene.

                                    Here's a video with bananas. https://youtu.be/jzjBAAv9nxc

                                    I can also say that bananas are quite yellow when ripe, without additives. Have had banana trees in 2 different houses, of 2 different banana varieties.

                                      right on. this tweet is like saying "there's not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K." there obviously is, but it's targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.

                                        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)?

                                        The Biblical fruit is just given as "pərî" and could be any fruit. Avalon is from the Welsh aflonydd, "peaceful", so named because it was King Arthur's vacation spot. Raspberries have not yet been discovered, at time of writing.
