What is the natural color of tomato?

The natural color of a ripe tomato is typically a vibrant red, which is due to the presence of the pigment lycopene. However, tomatoes can also come in a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, pink, purple, and even green when ripe. These color variations result from different pigment compositions and genetic factors. Green tomatoes are unripe, while some varieties remain green even when fully mature.
