The original name for orange

Weird fact about the color orange: English speakers didn’t start calling the color that until they encountered the fruit. In the 16th century, about 500 years ago.

The original name for the color came from Old English, and was called “geoluread,” which was roughly “red-yellow.” Maybe it’s just because it’s what I’m used to saying, but geoluread just seems like a terrible word.
