I dont entirely agree. I think tomatoes and peppers both have a huge shape/color/color combo range. What i do not see in peppers are a whole lot of stripes/speckling/streaking. There are only a few peppers that i can name that have stripes or streaks. I have a few experimental ones in my garden this year i have big hopes for. Just my opinion but like i said i love growing both peppers and tomatoes and usually grow a ton of different varieties of each every year and for me tomatoes come in way more variations.
