Orange is a colour
The colour is named after the orange fruit, introduced to Europe via the Sanskrit 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, In the court of King Henry VIII.

Like that line over the bottom cloud that is glowing on one side and subdued on the other. Some great shades, and even an orange shape at the bottom!;) Nice history work – can’t imagine orange not being orange, especially if it was geoluhread…
