The shade of green may vary from light to dark. BREAKERS There is a definite break of color from green to bruised fruit Tannish-yellow, pink or red or 0% or less of the tomato surface. TURNING Tannish-yellow, pink or red color shows on over 0% but not more than 0% of the tomato surface. PINK Pink or red color shows on over 0% but not more than 90% of the tomato surface. LIGHT RED Pinkish-red or red color shows on over 0% but red color covers not more than 90% of the tomato surface RED Red means that more than 90% of the tomato surface, in aggregate, is red *VR = vine-ripe
