It really ticks me off when people think Orange in 'A Clockwork Orange' means the colour. It has absolutely nothing to do with it. Did the guy who designed this even read the book?

The thing in that cover is the fruit, not the colour.

But isn't Orange in the title taken from Orang, which in some language means Man?
At least that's what I've read. And it would also makes sense to what Alex thinks about the manuscript he finds in that authors home.
