I agree Mark. This particular fruit on the plant was in the upper canopy, but not exposed to full direct sun. I also look for anthocyanin expression in the canopy - although all Aft/Aft types appear to have more expression in high light, some have almost nothing in the canopy. Just another example of how various "modifier genes" affect anthocyanin expression in tomato fruit.
