occurs between red and yellow in the visible spectrum

The color orange is named after the orange fruit, after the appearance of the ripe fruit.[3] Before this word was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to as ġeolurēad (yellow-red).

The first recorded use of orange as a color name in English was in 1512,[4][5] in a will now filed with the Public Records Office.

Interesting. I never understood why an orange was named after the color of it's skin, but bananas were never called a yellow, or cuccumber never called a green. Here it's the other way around!

I want Orange to make a limited run Tiny Terror, and instead of it saying Orange on the front, it should say ġeolurēad.

I can remember going to the Orange Bowl and watching the Syracuse Orangemen get beaten badly by Florida. That was back when they still played at the Orange Bowl Stadium. That's what you meant, right ?

That was back when they were the "Orangemen", but due to women's rights they have changed to the "Orange".
