Green Oranges typically turn orange as they ripen, which is influenced by temperature and other environmental factors. In general, temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C) encourage the ripening process. When exposed to cooler temperatures, the chlorophyll in the skin breaks down, allowing the orange pigment (carotenoids) to become more prominent. However, the specific temperature can vary depending on the variety of the orange and local growing conditions.

Do they Spray paint oranges befor they ship them?
Not anymore. 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.
What color are oranges initially?
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?

"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.
