The Color Black

Starlight · March 24, 2017

There is a whole array of colors of tomatoes and description of those tomatoes. I have everything from white, red, pink, green, blue, yellow, orange and brown.

While getting my seed together for this year, I noticed several that have "black" in the name or the description. Now I've grown Black Master and Black Cherry and I know those tomatoes I ate were not black, so where or how does the word black come about in a tomato name and descriptions?

Just curious.
