Now I remember it as putting Orange (because Oxidation) in a POT. As you know that when we put orange or any organic products in POT for longer period of time it turns to green because of algae.

Imagine that you put orange long period ago and when you looked today it has turned green. So potassium dichromate turns Orange to Green. Because Orange inside the POT turned Orange to Green.

When you will listen to color change of Potassium Dichromate you will remember POT. Then you will remember Orange and its color change from Orange to Green.
