Were oranges named after the color orange or was the color orange named after oranges?

the color is named after the fruit. we could be calling yellow 'lemon" or green "lime" but for some reason it's only for oranges

no anon adding a fruit name to the colour isn't the same as using the fruit name by itself.

to add, that bright shade of orange is pretty rare in nature, oranges, a few kinds of flowers, and butterflies were all that would have been largely available to people trying to describe the color for a long time, even carrots or pumpkins werent orange as often as they are now for the most part, meanwhile yellow and green and the other colors are comparatively common in nature and maybe originated from something specific but ultimately became their own words
