French vs. "red" and "orange" (off-topic)

[Paul Frank]

For what it's worth, I speak French at home with my wife, who is
Swiss-French, and daughter, and we all make a distinction between
"rouge" and "orange" in French. My French dictionaries also list the
word "orange." But perhaps it was not always so. The dictionary of the
French Acadamy (http://www.academie-francaise.fr/dictionnaire/) only
goes to the letter N, although they started working on it in the
Jurassic Period.
