Fabian Hinton · Answer 1

The orange definitely got named first. The first use of orange the fruit in English is from the 1300s and came to us from the Old French orenge, adapted from the Arabic nāranj, from the Persian nārang, from the Sanskrit nāranga ("orange tree").

The Color. The reason being is because the human brain came up with all the names for color.
