Yesterday was "blue" day on our spectrum of posts for the week (I'm saving the easy colors for last); today is "O" for orange. We stole the following from Wiki:

The color "orange" is named after the fruit. Who named the fruit? Oranges contain carotene and that gives the color - but that of course begs the question of why didn't they name oranges "carrots" (because the name was taken, silly). I lost interest when I found out they add carotene to chicken feed to make for a brighter orange yolk.
Speaking of orange fruits......
