Yes. see, the orange like the fruit came before the color orange. the color orange came from the orange (fruit), how it was colored. so if the orange were to say have been purple then instead of purple the color purple would've been orange. i know, it's a hard concept to understand. but, that is the answer.
When Life Gives You Lemons what does that mean?
One answer: The lemon has long been associated with witchcraft. This saying is a reference to a dark period in American history when it was acceptable to test whether or not a woman was a witch by repeatedly dunking her in a pool of water. If the woman survived, that proved that God was watching over her. If she drowned, it meant that she was a witch. The townspeople would then drink the water to gain the witch's strength.
Second answer: There is no mystical aspect to this aphorism, which was popularized in the 1970s. "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Normally a lemon is sour but if you add some sugar and water to it you can get lemonade. So, the advice means to use even a bad event to create something positive in your life.
