What color is reflected by a tomato?

Answer 1

Tomatoes come in every colour under the sun. There are reds, Oranges, pinks, yellows, blacks, browns, purples, whites, greens, bi-colours and striped. Run a search for "heirloom tomatoes" and you will get some good pictures to look at.

Answer 2

The tomato plant itself is green. The fruit of most tomato varieties starts out green in color and matures to some shade of red, or pinkish-red. Some varieties, though, ripen to yellow and some to a deep burgundy color.

Answer 3

pH doesn't have a "color". A given indicator may have a particular color at a particular pH, but what that color is depends on exactly what indicator you're using. Tomato Juice normally has a pH of around 4-4.5, and most "universal" indicators have a color chart you can look at to see what color that range corresponds to.Most wide-range universal indicators (really a mixture of several different indicators) go from red on the acid end to blue on the base end, so I'd expect tomato juice to probably show a yellow or orange color, but you should consult the key for the particular indicator you're using to get the precise hue. This is especially important if you're using a narrow-range indicator, where 4.5 might even be green (this is the case for Hydrion "Brilliant 0.0-6.0" paper, for instance).

Answer 4

The ones that are red contain a chemical called licopene.Licopene gives red colour to tomatoes which is carotenoid. It is like beta and alpha carotene which is present in carrots.
