HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-
Since the colour orange is, by definition, the colour of the citrus fruit of that name, it doesn’t really make sense so say anything is more orange than an orange. Oranges come in a variety of tints, some of which are very close to the tint of some carrot cultivars.
Not all carrots are orange-coloured of course. Some are brown or purple, which is the colour of the original wild carrot, and those generally taste a lot better than the ubiquitous orange cultivars, but most people expect carrots to be orange-coloured so are reluctant to buy anything else (more fool them).
Orange-coloured cultivars first appeared in the Netherlands in the 17th century. There’s a widespread belief that they were bred to celebrate the liberation of the Netherlands from Spain by the House of Orange. There’s no real evidence that this is true however.
The connection between the House of Orange, the fruit and the colour is based on a linguistic coincidence. Orange is a town in the south of France and nothing to do with citrus fruit. Willem I, stadholder of the Netherlands after defeating the Spanish was Prince of Orange, the town. The fruit was called, in medieval French, un narange, which became un arange and eventually un orange. Just as in English, a nadder became an adder and a napron became an apron. The town and the fruit are not etymologically related but it was a no-brainer for the family to adopt the fruit and its distinctive colour as their emblem.
