Curiously, the words for the colour orange and the Principality of Orange have different roots, so William of Orange (William III of England, and others) is originally unrelated to the colour. (I just went on holiday to Orange in France - beautiful Roman amphitheater)

A photo of an ancient Roman amphitheatre, laid in yellow blocks of stone and carved out of a hillside, visible in the background on the right. The left part is in direct sun. A small number of tourists are in the shade on the bottom left of the photo. The amphitheatre is very well preserved, and events (plays and concerts) are still held here. In this photo, you see the curved seating area, facing the stage - the stage is out of shot, to the left.
