"As the fruit matures the pigment changes from green to orange to red. The first pigment change is a fading of the green color due to the transformation of chloroplasts into chromoplasts resulting in a decrease in chlorophyll concentration. The initial increase in B-carotene concentration results in the orange pigment. The final red color is due to the subsequent high concentrations of lycopene.(Grierson and Kader 1986)"

What you are basically asking is what are the origins of the naming of colors.\n\nHere are a couple of interesting sites that speak to the origin of color and history of identifying etc.\n\nhttp://www.insidegraphics.com/articles/color_history_article.asp\n\nhttp://cura.free.fr/22plcome.html

Carrots are picked when they are fully mature, in other words orange,oranges are picked when they are green and color added to make them look ripe,the reason being is that oranges would rot for shipping if picked fully matured while carrots last for a long time before it starts to rot

I've never tried orange, but it looks pretty good (I love anything orange flavored). My favorite is fruit punch.

For most people, both fruits are healthy.  But people who need to watch their carbs should be careful about eating oranges.  They are very high in "fast-acting" carbohydrates (mostly plain old sugar).  So, if you are trying to keep your weight down, an apple is a better snack than an orange.  And if you are a diabetic, this is even more true.\n\nBut most people can eat either one, depending on what you are in the mood for.

Orange derives from Sanskrit nāraṅgaḥ "orange tree", but another explanation tries to establish a link to a Dravidian root “fragrant”. Compare Tamil narandam [நரந்தம்] “bitter orange”, nagarukam [நாகருகம்] “sweet orange” and nari [நாரி] “fragrance. The Sanskrit/dravidian word was borrowed into European languages through Persian nārang, Arabic nāranj, Spanish naranja, Late Latin arangia, Italian arancia or arancio, and Old French orenge, in chronological order. The first appearance in English dates from the 14th century. The forms starting with n- are older; this initial n- may have been mistaken as part of the indefinite article, in languages with articles ending with an -n sound (eg. in French une norenge may have been taken as une orenge). The name of the colour is derived from the fruit, first appearing in this sense in 1542.\n\nSome languages, such as Modern Greek, have different words for the bitter (nerantzi) and the sweet (portokali, ie. "Portuguese") orange.

One of Florida's largest export industries is the orange...so it stands to reason the the orange blossom was chosen to acknowledge that.\n\nHello Nicole d.....correct me if I'm wrong, but orange blossoms are the precursors to "oranges".

Orange—specifically, sweet orange—refers to the citrus tree Citrus sinensis and its fruit. The orange is a hybrid of ancient cultivated origin, possibly between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and tangerine (Citrus reticulata). It is a small tree, growing to about 10 m tall, with thorny shoots and evergreen leaves 4-10 cm long. The word "orange" comes from Sanskrit "narang".\nSee an orange in\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(fruit)\n\nTangerine (Citrus reticulata) is an orange or red colored citrus fruit, a type of mandarin orange.\n\nThey are slightly smaller than oranges, and their skin peels off more easily. Good quality tangerines will be firm to slightly soft, heavy for their size and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves. Their flavor is often more sour and more sweet than that of an orange. The Honey Tangerine, which was originally called a murcott, is very sweet as its name suggests. One of the most popular kind is the Dancy Tangerine variety. Another popular kind is the Fairchild Tangerine.\n\n\nSee tangerine in\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangerine
