Best Answer

For the same reason tomatoes and cherries do - that is their natural color. What we call "green pepper" in cooking is a pepper picked before it ripens fully, thereby having a slightly more pungent flavor. Any green pepper will turn red if allowed to mature fully on the vine. The red pepper is sweeter and milder tasting than the earlier green stage.
