Please share your sources, everything what Jaime and I thought we knew about the
oranges is having grown up and lived in a place that produces oranges (and some
rice), and is the first time I hear of that paint to sell oranges. The truth is
that oranges are "polish" and cleaned after collection to look more appealing,
but not "paint" anything.

Although I think the dark green pigment referred, with white spots and a
characteristic odor of overripe fruit is usually indicative of an orange that
has ceased to offer certain health guarantees.
