"Spray paint" is not quite the right word. The FDA does allow the addition of a colorant called "Citrus Red #2" to the skins of mature Oranges. It's more of a liquid dye than a paint, and, of course, safe for human consumption.

Oranges only turn "orange" if the temperature is right. In some countries where the temperatures never cool off, oranges remain green, even when mature. It is the cool temperatures which promote the release of the orange pigments (carotenes). Before being sold in the U.S., green oranges used to be coated with an orange dye to make them more attractive to consumers. This practice is no longer acceptable by the FDA. To overcome this problem, oranges are now often treated with ethylene, which promotes the development of a uniformly "orange" appearance. This removes the chlorophyll layer and allows the orange color to emerge.

How can ship be painted during dry docking?

During dry docking, a ship is removed from the water and placed on a dry dock, allowing for easier access to its hull. Workers can then clean, sand, and prepare the surface before applying primer and paint to protect against corrosion and marine growth. This process typically involves using specialized equipment, such as spray guns or rollers, to ensure an even coat. Additionally, painting during dry docking allows for thorough inspections and maintenance of the ship’s underwater components.

What happened when a ship carrying purple paint collided with a ship carrying red paint?

When a ship carrying purple paint collided with a ship carrying red paint, the resulting mixture would likely produce a shade of brown or maroon, depending on the specific shades of purple and red involved. This is because red and purple are both secondary colors that are created by mixing primary colors (red and blue for purple). The final color would be a blend of the pigments in the two paints, resulting in a new color due to their light absorption and reflection properties.
