Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?

This is a loaded question. Mostly because Carrots and Oranges differ in color saturation due to various conditions.

Carrots belong to the Umbelliferae family, and while I’ve not studied carrots themselves, I have consumed a few in my day. Throughout this period I’ve noted the sharp contrast in color. I find this visual queue tends to differ in conjunction with the quality of the carrot taste.

A healthy and rich carrot will also have a strong luster to its color. The same applies to Oranges, unfortunately.

Of course, if you look at the overall color of the mass. A Carrot would win hands down (assuming its a proportionated calculation). Carrots are orange throughout the whole vegetable. But with an Orange, it has a bit of “insulation” in-between the skin and the goods. That would be the soft white material.

In the end I’ve left asking the very same question you ask, and provide no answer.
