You'll see in that thread, some work was published showing difference between yellow and red fruited flowers as well. I wasn't able to pick them out, maybe because I had no "known" yellow to compare with on site, but in hindsight I could see the difference is there, although it's more subtle than the black.
Yes, for those of us with small space, it's awesome to have an early "tell" for fruit colour.
Now if only I could find an early tell for determinate/semi-determinate growth habit. I tried... I failed.
Telling them from indeterminates before plant out is evidently impossible.
