Out of the standard primary and secondary colours, it is only orange that is a fruit aswell?

For example you get apple which is a shade of green but green (nor purple, blue, yellow or red) are actually fruits are they? Just checking for a quiz, it's a simple question but there might be some exotic rare fruit called a blue etc etc . . .

When setting a quiz, though it is good to puzzle the participants you can easily alienate them by making the question either too convoluted or not clear enough.
Saw a very nasty incident at a Pub quiz some years back, involved a set of darts and the quizmaster still walks with a limp. LOL
