I once grew Tumbling Tom red and yellow cherry tomatoes. They make a beautiful, highly productive, small plant for containers. Of the two varieties which were visually identical except for fruit color, one was as delicious as I expect a tomato to taste. The other was so acidic, tart, astringic; I couldn't eat them. They were the classic representative of a "spitter" tomato. Unfortunately, I can't remember which color tasted great and which color tasted horrible. I think red tasted good and yellow tasted bad, but I'm not sure. That was an incident where color mattered.
