Feel free to research this for yourself, but I believe the oldest record of the word refers to the fruit, and that it comes from a foreign word meaning "fragrant."
I think the fruit came first, because a lot of colors are named after fruits. A box of colored pencils usually has colors like "grape" and "tangerine," so why not orang?
