Stress difference between orange and orange?

Does everyone just say 'orange or do some people say or'ange?

There is the color and the fruit. I expect the fruit to be called or'ange for some reason. Is it just me?

    In UK English its more like Orange. In North America it's longer like 'Oarange'. I don't think it is pronounced differently for the fruit or the colour.

    It's just you. The fruit and the colour are pronounced exactly alike.
