A black box is orange. A red panda is brown. A great white is mostly grey.

Red foxes are clearly orange. Black tea is clearly red. White grapes are clearly green.

Black tea refers to the degree of oxidation of the tea leaves - yellow, white and green teas all do the same thing. Similarly, white grapes are called that because they produce white (clear) liquid (though it’s clearly yellowish so who knows).

Makes sense
Even if it produced indisputably white liquid. Why not call it after its own color while tea is named after the color of its processed leaves?
You'd expect tea which is thought of as a drink to be known for the color of the liquid, and grapes often eaten as is to be named after their color.
But it doesn't really matter, any of these could've been named after whichever color they were at any point of their making / preparation. It's not like there's a convention or something

To make the tea thing even better, in English when referring to Chinese black teas, they are called red tea instead… Because that’s the color of the liquid.
That being said, if its label says red tea, its probably way higher quality than the tea bags you have at home.
