Depending on the variety of pepper, their color can be green, red, yellow, orange, and more rarely brown, white, rainbow lavender and dark purple. The name pepper is somewhat misleading. It was the name Christopher Columbus used when he encountered them in the Caribbean.
The reason he called them peppers was because, like black and white pepper they have a spicy hot taste.
