  1. Orange(the colour) < from Wikipedia>...

    The colour is named after the orange fruit, introduced to Europe via the Indo-European word nāranja. Before this was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to (in Old English) as geoluhread, which translates into Modern English as yellow-red.

    The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in 1512,[1] in the court of King Henry VIII.
