Are there any languages where the colour 'orange' and the fruit 'orange' are called two different names?
I know the colour 'orange' and the fruit 'orange' are the same in English, Spanish (naranja), and French (orange.) Are there languages where the colour and fruit have two different names?

In Italian the colour orange is "arancione" and the fruit orange is "arancio". They are very similar but differ for a syllable.

Absolutely, probably in alot of lost languages, and in many modern day languages.
Not everyone is as clever as the dude that thought the orange thing up.

In Arabic Oranges the Fruit is برتقال
or singular برتقالة
and the Colour is برتقالي
you can see,one letter at the end of the word is different.
they are similar but a little different,and it will not make sense if you said i like to eat برتقالي for example.
