I don't know here's a question for you what came frist the Chicken of the Egg?
Are you copying someone??
the colour orange was named after the fruit. because it has got the same shades of colour as the fruit orange.
I think the colour came first!, I couldn't tell you why though!
neither I'd say. It probably started off as some horrible little brown crusty thing and then over millions of years evolved in to what we have now.
thats a damn good question!!
