Red. Anthocyanin turns leaves red. Yes, it is spelled correctly!
Anthocyanin is the pigment that give blue and red potatoes their color. The pigment ranges in color from red to purple to blue.
The red pigment is an anthocyanin; the color is purple in a neutral solution.
Temperature, light, and water supply have an influence on the degree and the duration of fall color. Low temperatures above freezing will favor anthocyanin formation producing bright reds in maples. However, early frost will weaken the brilliant red color. Rainy and/or overcast days tend to increase the intensity of fall colors
They contain the same antioxidants found in blueberries- anthocyanin which gives blueberries their blue color and purple potatoes their purple color. The color that anthocyanin takes is based upon the pH. A purple potato is a kind of potato that has purple skin and or flesh (sometimes called blue) with varieties being Purple Peruvian, Davis Purple, Eureka Purple, Fenton Blue, Purple Mountain, Blue Tomcat etc.
It can be measured by UV- spectrophotometer. The pH differential method has been used to determine the anthocyanin content
The phrase "cabbage indicator" refers to the use of red cabbage juice to indicate the pH of a solution. For red cabbage contains the pigment molecule ka flavin, which is an anthocyanin. In fact, anthocyanin also is responsible for the reds of certain tree leaves such as sassafras [Sassafras albidum] and sourwood [Oxydendrum arboreum]. Anthocyanin has the advantage of being a water soluble pigment. Its color varies depending upon the acidity/neutrality/alkalinity of the solution in which it's found. For example, the anthocyanin pigments in red cabbage juice turn red in acidic, purplish in neutral, and greenish-yellow in basic solutions.

Strawberries are red due to chemical name anthocyanins. Though anthocyanins are responsible for other color like blue but color differed by the difference in the pH of the plant tissue. Strawberries are somewhat acidic so their anthocyanin reflect red light.
