Does green apple count? It feels like an adjective but considering there's "green apple" flavored candy, I'd consider it a part of the noun.

I think the name for that variety is Granny Smith. The reason why it isn't called "Granny-Smith-flavored candy" will be left as an exercise for the reader.
Green beans are technically fruits
Here we go
Even if those leaves were a fruit, they're not called greens. Some kinds of leaves are called that as a general term, but not the ones in the picture. He's wrong on so many levels!
Is that what he was saying? That's what I was confused about. Those leaves are not greens. They are green, but still everything you said.
I mean, orange was right there...
Which is a colour named after the fruit iirc
It is! We could use redcurrants, blackcurrants, and blackberries though

Engagement bait.
right on. this tweet is like saying "there's not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K." there obviously is, but it's targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.

This is how you do engagement bait

Just a little fun fact: the color was actually named after the fruit and not the other way around :D
“The word "orange" came into English from the Old French "pomme d'orenge", which referred to the fruit.”
There are still blackberries though…
I think this might have been a joke abstracted to allude to that, without falling for the trap. Oranges were not named after the color, the color was named after the fruit.

Orange, cherry, blackberry, etc.
I'm pretty sure orange and cherry are named after the fruit, but Blackberry is true.
Nah it's inspired from the phone
Nah that's apples
That tracks. Steve Jobs was known for his enjoyment of fruit, to a potentially problematic degree.
Dunno who that is but Tim Apple invented the computer and his ancestors invented the apple (in 196 AD) and just for the record if you think enjoying fruit is problematic you’re probably homophobic or something ¯\(ツ)/¯ iunno go away
Fun fact: The first logo was going to include Isaac Newton but they hadn’t invented him yet!

Pendants will argue that black is not a colour
One might ask Crayola.
Physicists might argue that, but black is a color linguistically and in common usage; I'd argue that since OP was generally speaking in a linguistic context, linguistic rules override physics pedantry.

Yellow squash
