Oranges are a Colour

Eccentricities come and go. A new one has recently crept up on me. When passing through the servery, collecting my meals, at the vegetable tray I specify what I want by colour.

This saves time trying to remember the names cabbage, carrot, cauliflower and sprouts (not offered all at once). I just say, "green stuff and a bit of the orange" and I am given cabbage and carrot.

What's that all about? And how confusing is that going to be when I finally get to attend a Farmers Market??
