Oranges are initially green.
And in some places they stay greenish yellow. Oranges only turn orange under two circumstances. The first is in colder climates (like the US), where the temperature kills the chlorophyll pigments and carotenoids shows through.
Also, oranges in the US are often sprayed with Ethylene Gas, which also kills the chlorophyll and turns them orange.
Many greenish yellow oranges taste exactly the same as orange ones, its just that the US consumer demands orange oranges. Whatever floats our boats eh?
