Does green apple count? It feels like an adjective but considering there's "green apple" flavored candy, I'd consider it a part of the noun.

I think the name for that variety is Granny Smith. The reason why it isn't called "Granny-Smith-flavored candy" will be left as an exercise for the reader.

Red apple, green apple red strawberries, yellow strawberries, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, purple tomatoes (although purple isn't a real color by itself). Oh and red berries.

You might argue it's not the fruit's name, but when you say "honny, can you get me some apples from the store while you're going there please?" and she comes back with green apples, while you wanted red apples, you'd be like "fuck. I should have named it better, I only asked for half the name of what I wanted, now I need to hit my wife to blame her and hide my mistake". So my point here is, not naming the color of the fruit in its name is the cause for domestic violence.
