Italian! While you can use “arancio” to refer to the orange tree, the colour orange and technically also the fruit (I think this is different depending on the region/dialect), “arancia” is common for the fruit. Also, “arancione” is another way to say the colour orange :)

Also, Norwegian. “appelsin” is the fruit and “oransje” is the colour

(By extension, I’d assume it’s the same for other Nordic languages like Danish, Swedish and Icelandic but I am not sure, as I’m not super familiar with those.)

Can confirm Danish and Dutch are similar. Sinaasappel (fruit) and Oranje (color) for the latter.
