Color words don't rhyme

so what's up with Orange, Silver and Purple not having any words that sound like them? It must be a coincidence, but why are they all colors?

wtf?

an orange is actually a fruit, and silver is a precious metal.

There was a young woman named Myrtle,
Who mistakenly dyed her hair purple,
Her dad was so mad,
Enough he had had,
So he beat her to death with a turtle.

I suck.

What's up with all the words that have words that rhyme with them? I think they are the freaks.
