`  Does anyone know when the Europeans reached the far East exactly, or when the first orangutan was seen in Europe? It mightn't be a stretch to say that the colour orange was named after these magnificent ``men of the forest``, undoubtedly imported by Europeans for display a long time ago. Orang means man in Malay. I had the honour of having tea with some Orangs in the Singapore zoo many years ago. They all had truly orange hair, and so I would like to suggest that an experience with those creatures would make enough of an impression on Europeans to name a colour after. Shouldn't we be looking for Malay words that rhyme with orang?   `
