alt Hacker NewsIn the US, "ginger" is a seasoning, not a color. Like, in general; we do not refer to anything as being ginger-colored unless it's a sort of pale yellowish tan.

In UK English ginger isn't exactly a color either. It's not like yellow or orange. It's a state of being.
I don't know why this is being downvoted. Does "ginger-colored" sound right to you? It doesn't quite work.

The redhead, ginger, color link comes from early season ginger, which has reddish pink tips around the leaves right above the fresh root.
