Oranges are typically green when unripe, as they develop their characteristic orange color only as they mature. The green color is due to chlorophyll, which fades as the fruit ripens. In warmer climates, oranges can remain green even when they are ripe, as temperature influences the color change. Therefore, color alone is not a reliable indicator of ripeness; taste and firmness are better indicators.
You can ripen unripe oranges by leaving them at room temperature for a few days. Placing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana can also help speed up the ripening process.

Mandarin oranges are typically orange when they are ripe, but certain varieties can have a greenish hue even when they are fully mature. This green coloration can be a result of environmental factors, such as temperature and sunlight exposure, which may inhibit the development of the orange pigment. Therefore, while most mandarin oranges are orange when ripe, some may remain partially green without being unripe.
