How did colors get their names if their names are descriptions of their color?

Many of our words for colours are very old and their origins are obscure. However, those which are more recent in origin are indicative. For example, the word for the fruit "orange" is older than the colour word. This suggests that colour words get their origin in phrases like "It was the colour of that orange over there." The same can be said of words like "cinnamon" or "taupe" or "fawn".
