Red apple, green apple red strawberries, yellow strawberries, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, purple tomatoes (although purple isn't a real color by itself). Oh and red berries.

You might argue it's not the fruit's name, but when you say "honny, can you get me some apples from the store while you're going there please?" and she comes back with green apples, while you wanted red apples, you'd be like "fuck. I should have named it better, I only asked for half the name of what I wanted, now I need to hit my wife to blame her and hide my mistake". So my point here is, not naming the color of the fruit in its name is the cause for domestic violence.

I honestly will argue that it's not their name, but rather a descriptor of the fruit.

Cripps Pink however, is a name of an apple.
