Initially, all apples are green. As they ripen, they change color to yellow, green, and red. Many species have two or three colors at once.

Why do fruits vary in color?
It all depends on genes, just like in people, skin color is inherited.
The varieties of green apples do not change even when ripe. They contain a lot of chlorophyll, like leaves and other external parts of plants.
Other fruits, as they ripen, gradually change color to yellow or red and during this process the chlorophyll is slowly destroyed. A natural coloring pigment, carotene, is formed.
