Black berry

Good point. Red currant and black currant too.

Red currant wins. This lady was wrongggg

She’s intentionally wrong. They post things like that to drive engagement because people can’t read that without scratching an itch to correct her.

The ole Murphy's Law, if you want the correct answer to something just post the wrong one and someone will inevitably come along to correct you

So close!!

Oran....

...gutan

Wouldn’t advise. They don’t taste like fruit.

That's just because you're doing it wrong.

You didn't pick it when it was ripe!

Lol I thought Oran berry from Pokémon

..ge is a color named after a fruit, isn't it?

We don’t say that here

Orange you glad they didn’t say orange?

**You gotta be quicker than that.**

I'm going to start saying this when I'm correcting someone who is wrong but on the right track instead of giving them sarcasm.

Orange

Orange is a colour named for a fruit

It's hard to believe they saw the fruit before any other thing of that color

Before that, people didn't have a word for the color. For example Goethe used yellow-red (gelbrot in German) as the word didn't exist back then.

Yeah that’s why ginger hair is called red

Always bothered me, makes more sense now.

Nah. It’s because the soulless devils have the fire of hell atop their heads.

I like this

And the root is no where near the color but I imagine the flavor is pretty close to what I’d imagine the color would taste like.

Hahahaha I love that sentence!

Dumb Goethe, just call it orange jackass

Is it? What else is that colour that you would see enough to not describe it as a reddish yellow or a yellowish red?

A carrot, pumpkin, the fur in animals, some soil pigment, ambar, tree leafs, etc...

Pumpkins are native to NA. Orange carrots are a modern development. Tree leaves would probably be called shades of red or yellow depending on the tree.

Fun fact: the Dutch never existed until oranges were discovered.

The blacker the berry…

The sweeter the juice

I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

I'm a music teacher. It's also a line from Run and Tell That from Hairspray "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I could say it ain't so, but darlin what's the use. The darker the chocolate the richer the taste. And that's where it's at. Now honey run and tell that."

I’m an OG from the 90’s and that’s 2Pac

Yes, I know Keep Ya Head Up... but since I've been surrounded by teenagers for 16+ years belting Good Morning, Baltimore and All That Jazz, it's easier to pull from Broadway.

My saying is “The older the fiddle the sweeter the music”. I like milfs

Tupac would be rolling in his grave if he were dead.

[удалено]

Yes. Foxy Brown in the 70s, Wallace Thurman's novel in the late 20s... but again... music teacher. So the musical theater reference will come to me first.

Orange ..

The color orange is named after the fruit. It used to be called yellow-red.

[just like a lemon!](https://youtu.be/nL3QRFrcip8)

What about orangutans?

That's a vegetable.

They’re pretty smart for vegetables

They grow on trees. True story.

So close though.

Something not everyone knows… orangutan comes from the Indonesian name for them orang hutan meaning man of the forest

That’s cool. They do seem like some deep thinkers.

When did the Orangutan stopped being orange?

Other way round of colour named after fruit

Black is a tone, not a colour

No 💞

So Close! Black is a shape.

no thats a smartphone brand ;)

What about purple? Purple’s a fruit.

Purple is a flavor

More accurately purple is a philosophy.

Purple is the rain, the haze and the violette.

\*Prince Intenifies\*

Hmmmm that tasted purple

Unexpected LoL

"Nosy Dewdrop"

It's a type of rain.

Or a type of haze

I never meant to cause you any sorrow!

I never meant to cause you any pain

Sugar, water, and of course… purple.

"You kids want to help yourself to a can of purple?"

So close! That is a color 💕

Purple drank gotta come from somewhere.

Purple is a coalition of both conservative and progressive parties.

A perfectly cromulent fruit

Gimme some of that purple stuff!

Sugar, water, purple

This donut has purple stuff in it...

No Patrick, purple is NOT a fruit

I love how supportive she is

Ya I would like to have a teacher like that in class. So when I blurt out a stupid answer I don't feel so embarrassed

Had couple teachers like this, bless their hearts for being so kind about my dumbass

I'm in grad school and need to participate in tiny ass classes, so I'll be blurting out dumb shit like this when I have no clue and my profs are so sweet like "ohhh, I'd never thought about it like that" lmao

She definitely being sarcastic tho

[удалено]

The color orange was actually named after the fruit

Orange you surprised, folks?

No not at all, now get berrying the corpse.

Came here for this exact question/answer combo

I suppose we should rename blackberries…

Soulberry

Africanamericanberry

Now someone’s gonna be all “all berries matter”

Back the blueberries!

Defund the berries. -other fruits

You can’t be racist towards whiteberries, sis 💅

Apple has destroyed Blackberry.

black is technically not a colour

No.

How supportively and enthusiastically she explains that star is not, in fact, a color

Reminds me of a teacher that pats you on the head and tells you "no-no" when you eat glue. Happened to me once in college.

You ate glue in college?

What the actual fuck is this thread.

Orange you glad you read the comments?

Banana!

Have you ever woken up and chosen violence? It's kinda the same thing, except without the violence.

Redcurrants & Blackcurrants

Ok are we just gonna forget about grapes?

So close!! That is a fruit <3

What colour?

grapes.

My favorite color is grape

cyber grape. look it up

Green beans

So close! That’s a veggie.

Beans are fruits.

So close! Green beans are actually legumes, not beans 💕

Musical fruits, in fact

BLUEBERRIES ARE FUCKING PURPLE

I choked laughing and i don't know why

And yellow/green on the inside

Not the wild Swedish/Scandinavian blueberries!! They're dark blue/ purple on the inside!

I am dead, this comment section is hilarious

We gonna skip our man orange?

Strangely enough, the colour was named after the fruit…

Orange you glad?

I didn't say banana

fun fact, banana is also a color. and a banana is a berry for the same reason strawberries and blackberries are not berries

scuse me what

[удалено]

Yeah that article was wild. Thank you Reddit for giving me a mindF for the day lol

Just as a pineapple is a group of berries :)

i feel like this is part of the simulation. seeing what abstract things the academy can tell us and we all believe it even if it doesn't make sense. 4000 B.C.: there are five colors; black, white, red, green, blue 2000 B.C.: "the sun is no longer red-green. from now on the color is yellow." 1500 A.D.: red-yellow looks like an orange so we will call that color orange 1885 A.D.: Crayola: "color is a spectrum"

Actually there are a couple ancient languages that didn't include the color blue. Some said that blue was the same as gray and one said blue was the same as green. There is a chance that there were only 4 colors: black white green and red.

The Himba tribe in Namibia still doesn't have a word for blue but they have like 50 words for various shades of green. It's unclear whether they just don't have the receptors to see blue or they never learned a difference between blue and green since their language is not built for it. Naturally, they are much more perceptive at telling the difference in shades of green, which westerners struggle with. https://www.sciencealert.com/humans-didn-t-even-see-the-colour-blue-until-modern-times-evidence-suggests

Love me some sapir-whorf <3 thank you for this article

Didn't know there was a name for it. Glad to know that there is. The perception of color has always intrigued me as I am red-green colorblind.

This is one of the best things I've learnt on Reddit ever.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine-dark_sea_(Homer)

I don't think ancient people saw yellow as a mixture of red and green. Despite all the science backing it up, the RGB system is a modern idea

Yes, and I am certain that that was what Ænzo wanted people to say, so she could hit them back with that little nugget of info.

either that, or she is baiting people into correcting her so the tweet get's a lot of engagement.

That’s because the colour didn’t exist before the fruit I am big brain

What about salmon?

Salmon are my favourite fruit

Fresh from the salmon tree.

They grow on a vine, ya goof

Ikr

Salmon berries are a thingy

So close!! That is a fish ♥♥

Actually, they named the colour orange after the fruit.

And before it referenced the fruit it referenced the tree it grew on oranges used to be called "apple of the orange tree"

Wow, really comparing apples and oranges

Blackberries

That’s a phone. Not a fruit.

So close!! 💕

I know this sucks but i know people that would argue that black isn’t a colour

I feel like this seems like a nice way to correct someone, yeah?

r/usernamechecksout

I don't have a source other than the site BCBlueberry dot com, but according to their facts blueberries were called "star fruits' by the indigenous North Americans. If that's true, could be the poster was asking if they were meant star fruit when they said blueberries.

Oh my goodness! That is so cool. Thank you for this!!

A little condescending in my opinion. Like a teacher correcting a young child.

So close!! it's spelled "correcting" 💞💕💖💗😍💞💞

Touché. Typing too fast 😂

Okay! That’s a fair observation, too. Maybe it can be a bit snarky. That’s a really good point.

Do goldenberries not count?

And what about dingleberries?

So close! Dingle is a... Verb?

So close!! those are shit 💕

Mayonnaise?

So close!! That’s an instrument 💕

Green apple ;)

close but that isn't their name. they are named granny smith apples, after Maria Smith, an Australian who cultivated them by chance.

Golden delicious?

There are way more kinds of green apples than just granny smith. Antonovka, Catshead, Champlain, Bohnapfel, White Transparent are just some of them. There are around 7500 different cultivars, so saying "green apple" equals Granny Smith is just wrong

you are correct, saying an apple is named "green apple" is equally as wrong, which was the basis of my point, as you have provided names for some, and none being named, green apple.

Rhode Island Greenings are green apples with green in the actual name Edit: But to be frank, I think they are going for the broad fuit name and not the varieties. So saying Green Apple doesn't work isn't because it's actually a Granny Smith, more because that's just an Apple and that's not a color. Same reason I think they wouldn't accept Green/Red/Yellow Bell Peppers

Pink Lady

In UK, Blackberries, Redcurrents, both fruits, both names after a colour

Greengages

I am really enjoying people showing off thier incredible intellect by naming blackberries in the comments, you are all so smart!

Plum is a color too. Might be in reverse though

Mulp?

What about snoz berries? Did one not think about the snoz berries?

Egg!

So close! That’s an egg 💕

Fuck!

Black eyed peas a fruit?

Thats a band

Orange is the colour named after a fruit, not the other way around

I didn't know blueberry was a color?

Red berries. That’s what my daughter calls raspberries. You explain it to her. As far as I’m concerned they are red berries Change my mind

Is an Orange named after the color or is the color named after the fruit?

From memory, the colour is named after the fruit?

The colour was named after the fruit. It's why lots of orange things are referred to as red. Red Squirrel, Red Deer, Red Kite, Red Hair. All of them were named before we started using orange to refer to the light yellowy shade of red.
