The Color of an Apple

An apple always has certain colors to it.
There’s a general color that comes to mind
When people talk about its colors.
This general color has multiple hues.
Sometimes an apple is as light as cherry Kool-Aid
Before the sugar’s added
But other times, it can be as dark
As the richest wine found in Italy.
Many times,
The hue is in between light and dark.
An apple can be as bright as a firetruck
And even the fake blood
People use for Halloween.
The best apples are the ones
That look like leaves on a tree
During the fall.
