I'd like to grow Big Mama mustard, because i never have grown a mustard variety
For anuums: red
baccatums: orange (for now)*
chinenses: yellow or chocolate
frutescens: have only had red
pubescens: red (for now)*
(*for now = I have not tried enough representatives of these species to say for sure)
Man I love mustard habaneros, they are sooo good.

Olive is not mentioned a lot but I LOVE the Mini Olive Rocoto which is not only olive in shape, but color. Super amazing pepper.
Qualities of yellow and chocolate imo. Fresh and earthy.
I'm planning to grow this one next year. I'm really excited because of all the hype that I hear about it.
You won't be disappointed! Pickle some and they taste even more like olives!

For chinense red. Think im in the minority here but red > yellow / brown
For pubescens yellow/orange
For the rest i really dont have a fav, theres great peppers of all colors

annuum: green (not all, but some are perfect)
baccatum: orange (the red ones have a bit of a banal taste)
chinense: orange/yellow; some red (especially the superhot ones the first 3 seconds
). I can't say purple because apart from the pimenta da Neyde the others are generally not ripe
next year I'll choose a mustard
for pubescens, frutescens and wild I still have to experiment better with colors other than red. I like the cappuccino chiltepin. this year I'll have yellow rocotos and also the mini olive, I can't wait!

Ohhh you have to let me know how you like it!
Red peppers are best for sauces, because they age well and remain red.

More serious answer:
Probably yellow and orange. Even bells. But Anaheims, Poblanos, and Serranos I like green.

recently, one or more people posted about how eating rocoto/pubescens green is disgusting.
so how can the olive rocoto be delicious? asking honestly. in this case it must be a matter of ripeness, not colour?
