When the 'robin red breast' was named there was no colour orange, so what we now called orange was called red. It's the same reason we call people with orange hair 'redheads'..
Although being on QI it's probably not true and someone will now come to say that I'm wrong
Orange the colour is named after orange the fruit, it used to be called yellow-red, so can totally believe that. (QI tweeted about this today)
