Having grown up in Brazil, I can confidently say that most of our oranges are indeed orange. Green is usually the colour of non-ripe ones and you can expect extreme acidity from them.
You would be confidently wrong. They are artificially de-greened with ethylene. In Brazil it doesn’t get cold enough for natural de-greening. Also, having tasted both natural green and de-greened (and naturally de-greened) oranges. Their outer color has no correlation whatsoever to the taste.
