Question of the Day: Why Are Bell Peppers Different Colors?
Quick Answer: Two factors impact what color a bell pepper will be; how long it matures on the vine and the variety of the pepper.

Other varieties transition from green to yellow, and there are a few types of bell peppers turn orange when fully ripened.
