The earliest known use in the English-language of the word 'orange' to refer to colour was in 1512 in someone's will and testament, where something having 'colour of ye orenj frut' (IIRC) was willed to a nephew.
Prior, the word used to describe such a colour, including the colour of the fruit itself, was 'red/rod/read' or, rarely, 'yelwered' (yellowred/yellow red). Some uses of the word 'red' to describe things that are in actuality orange-coloured persist today. Two examples off the top of my head are 'red-head' (ginger people) and 'red-breast' (a type of bird).

The word 'orange' entered into English from French by way of Catalan by way of Castillian by way of Moorish by way of Arabic by way of Persian by way of Hindi by way of Sanskrit 'naranj,' which is the Sanskritic name for the fruit.
My language, ever the iconoclast, refers to the fruit as 'purtualë/purtuall'/purtualle' (we lack spelling standardisation in the Latin alphabet; this word means 'something from Portugual').

Its potassium bitartrate. It's a salt of tartric acid. Tartric acid is found in grapes. When macerated and let sit, the potassium combines with the tartric acid to form potassium bitartrate. This precipitates out when the wine is chilled.

青い means both, they viewed it within the same spectrum. It can also mean unripe.

it begun as Cremor, which means cream like, because they scraped it off the wine casks in a pasty humidified state, that turned around the 20th century to crem of, and then modern industry makes it pure in powdered form, it's just an anachronism, you should call it potassium citrate like any normal person would, also, vinegar is called ascetic acid.

> like a normal person

I hate to break this to you buddy, but no normal person calls it that.

It's probably a doujin. A fan-made porn comic.

Ever watch or play Higurashi? There's a great one called a Midsummer's Demon that's so unbelievably hot.
