oroblanco means gold-white.
orange is another fruit. Are there other fruits that are just colors?

Arguably lots: lime, tangerine, etc.

I mean if you said, 'She was wearing a raspberry mini-skirt', the listener's assumption would probably be that you meant raspberry-coloured. As opposed to raspberry-scented, made of raspberries, etc. I guess 'featuring a raspberry pattern' would also compute. Context matters. If it was 'She was wearing a raspberry mini-skirt that complemented her cream blouse' there's even less doubt that the fruit is the colour.
