To spaldinglinc: If you look at this site http://www.innvista.com/HEALTH/foods/fruits/or anvar.htm you will see that the Seville orange is described as having a golden rind. Perhaps that is what you are after. I don't think they would give the word orange in the clue and have orange in the answer also.
Just a thought.
