Answer 1

I'm pretty sure they work both ways, but the proper way would probably be naranja for the fruit and anaranjado for the color...

Answer 2

I think that naranja and anaranjado can both be used for the colour - the fruit is naranja

Answer 3

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Naranja is the fruit and anaranjado is the color.

Answer 4

Naranja = fruit or color

anaranjado = orangy (that has shades/hues of orange color)

right?
