Best Answer
Because it is orange. NOT! the fruit came before the colorContrary to what most of us think, this fruit was not named for its color. Instead, the word orange comes from a transliteration of the sanskrit naranga. Which comes from the Tamil naru. Which means "fragrant."

Because they are the color orange

2nd Answer:

A long, long time ago, a word was passed from the Sanskrit language to English. This word was the name of a citrus fruit. At that time, the color of this fruit was, "red-yellow". Of course, this word was "orange", and was the name of the fruit. In time, the color, "red-yellow" came to be renamed after the fruit, and became the color, "orange".
