      Ahh, you are wrong! Something DOES rhyme with orange!
      There is a mountain in South Wales called the Blorenge – the only name or word that actually rhymes with orange. It is also the mountain on which I grew up… funny that!
      Purple however…

      No idea! But it is only one of two words that have nothing to rhyme with it. The other is silver! However, Hywel grew up on a mountain, the name of which rhymes with orange so better inform the Collins dictionary – unless the use of proper nouns as a rhyming word is not allowed!!!
