Carrot juice is usually a more orange orange juice than how orange orange juice is.

    English naming a fruit the same as a color. SMH my head.

    The name of the color comes from the name of the fruit, so imagine if humans discovered carrots before oranges so the color orange was actually called the color carrot.

    Carrots as we know them today are not what they once were. They used to be mostly white or yellow, and not as sweet as they are now. You can still find yellow or white carrots in many places, sometimes even purple ones.

    As for the color, it used to be called yellowred before they decided to name it after the fruit.
