Genetics: For example, the modern-day orange carrot is a result of Dutch growers breeding mutant yellow carrots with purple carrots
Sunlight: The side of an apple that faces the sun is usually the brightest red
Ripening: Fruits are often most colorful when they are fully ripe
Animal dispersers: Fruits that are eaten by mammals tend to reflect more green light, while fruits that are dispersed by birds tend to reflect more red light
Phytonutrients also give plants their distinctive tastes and aromas, and they may help protect the plant from disease and sun damage. Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables can help provide your body with many beneficial compounds, including phytonutrients
