What color is pomegranate?

Published in Fruit Color 1 min read

Pomegranates can range in color from yellow to purple, but are most commonly pink or red.

While the interior seeds are most often a vibrant red, the exterior skin (exocarp) displays a variety of hues. The specific color depends on the pomegranate variety, ripeness, and growing conditions. As the reference highlights, yellow, purple, pink, and red are all possible exocarp colors. Therefore, when asked about the color of a pomegranate, it's most accurate to say it is typically pink or red, while acknowledging the possible range.
