OP, you need something to have in that GWR category.

My list:

Red: Galinovic f1
Pink: Crnkovic probably
Black: Pink Berkley Tie Die, Chernomor
Yellow: Azoychka, Aunt Gertie
Green: Tizebra (best tomato existing), Spears Tennessee green
White: never tried

I would say the color ranking is like: Green, yellow or black, pink, red.

Not yet released. Need to check more for stability. It's more of a tart tomato (although not sour like Azoychka for example) with very strong and persistent taste. People have been raving about it, I bring it everywhere to boost my ego (it's true that people around here aren't all that used to great tasting tomatoes however). I think the secret is the very abundant dark green foliage.

Sounds like a winner! Hope you find it stable.

God laughs at my watering schedule.


Black
JDs Early black
My overall favorite. If you ever get the chance it will be yours too.
F1 only available as plants from Conroe Greenhouse. They wholesale to Texas Garden centers.


Yellow
Summer Sunrise
My favorite dwarf project tomato.


Orange
Blazing Beauty
Another excellent dwarf project tomato.


Pink
Porter
Great for cooking, canning whole, and juice.
Best tomato soup ever.
@Ablindhog - I've never heard of JD's Early Black, but I believe it is the same thing as JD's Special C-Tex (which is an early black), and seeds are available. I have some if you'd like to give them a try for a comparison sake. I believe it is a stable line, not an F1. It is a great tomato. Here is the blurb from Conroe Greenhouse's website. They show a JD's Special C-Tex Early Black.

Tatiana lists JD's Special C-Tex as a midseason variety. Several growers report a dtm of 80 days.

I am certainly no expert on this subject, but I believe JDs special is a term applied to all varieties developed by JD Brann. JDs special collard greens come to mind. C Tex is a term used for all the varieties Conroe Greenhouses sell that they believe to be especially well adapted to central Texas.
I Think JDs Special C-Tex is someone’s stabilized grow out of JDs Early Black tomato, but it is a much larger, a lot later, and a less sweet tomato. I have grown both side by side in a couple of seasons and gotten these results each time. I would love to hear from someone that knows for certain.
