The color was named after the fruit, and the fruit was named after the tree.

nararnj (Arabic word for the tree itself.) ->
pomme d'orenge (Literally "apple orange" from the Old French term for the fruit of the orange tree.) ->
orenge (Truncated version to refer to the fruit.) ->
orange (Modern spelling.) ->
Orange color.

The color was called saffron before people began using "orange."

How could a tree come before the concept of a color? The color was there before there even was any planets for a tree to grow on. ???

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

so it should be

Color ==> Tree ==> Fruit ==> Name color
