Red was one of the first colours humans ever used in prehistoric art, made from red ochre, dating back thousands of years.
The colour orange had no name in Europe until the 15th century, when it was named after the fruit.
The colour pink had no name in Europe until the 17th century, when it was named after a flower.
Also, fun fact, the word green probably derives from the (reconstructed) proto-indo-european language root "ghre–".
That same word eventually evolved into the word grow.
The colour green is named after things that grow! 
@InvaderXan Wouldn't it work for vert, verde and verdant too?
Vegetables are usually "greens"' like "verduras" (spanish).
It works in czech, too.
zelená / zelenina are green / vegetable(s).
