What determines the colour of cherries?
The colour of cherries depends on a number of factors, including variety, ripeness, growing conditions and environmental influences. Different varieties of cherries can show different shades of colour, from pale pink to deep red or even dark purple. As the cherries ripen, their colour darkens, indicating that the fruit is becoming sweeter and tastier. The amount of sunlight and the composition of the soil can also affect the colour, as these factors influence the production of pigments such as anthocyanins, which are responsible for the colour of the fruit.
How is it possible to cherry color color mixing?
Cherry is a deep shade of red, usually achieved by mixing red, blue and black paints in varying proportions. The base colour is achieved with red, then darkened with a small amount of blue and finally deepened with black until the desired cherry colour is achieved. This process is used for both dyes and digital colour mixing.
