the tree

why this is a question???




Tree ==> Fruit ==> Color


the name of the color comes from the fruit but the color has been around for much longer than the fruit and the tree

so the color

so the color
holy stuff i almost forgot that the color has been here since the beginning but the name for the color came along ~1000+? years ago

Color ==> Tree ==> Fruit

The color orange has had a name before the fruit, BUT, it was only later when they named the fruit "orange", they renamed the color to it aswell, since an orange happens to be orange.

the orange was probably NAMED first, but the color orange obviously still existed

if you're going by names, then the fruit

if you're going by existence, then the color
