@Chrishallbeck In a similar vein, that’s why we have red pandas that are orange and red cabbage and red onions that are purple.
Red was an early word. Other colors’ names came after we had named stuff

@Chrishallbeck I’m one of the lucky 10,000. Thank you. https://xkcd.com/1053/

wayne_williams,

@Chrishallbeck if you were to ask any of my friends about this they would say that the second person is me LOL

irishleprechan,

@Chrishallbeck in 1970s, I put orange for hair color on selective service draft card application trying to be accurate & precise.

I was dis-appointed to see it issued as red.

Another minority dis—criminated against.

Fortunately for me, they canned the draft, and canned orange juice too!

It was originally Sanskrit – nāraṅga – but we went (via French) to dropping an "n" in "un norange".
