I woke up with this on my mind:

"If scientists ever engineered oranges to be purple, would they be called Purple Oranges or just Purples?"

I needed to have a mechanic check out my brain. It ain't right.

What group are you in?

@dolari Well, there are blood oranges. The skins are still orange, but have a reddish cast. Their innards can be a deep, maroon purple. We still call them oranges. 🤷‍♀️

@dolari Pourangles, if the terrible marketing among the MBA-poisoned types is any indicator. Or else some absurdly wordy thing like All-New Purple Oranges with Extra Purple Power(tm).

@dolari If they had any artistic sensibility, they'd be called burnt seinas, as that's the name of the color you'd get mixing purple & orange.

*oh & thanks for brightening an otherwise pretty complete mess of a day with this post of yours!
