Okra purple, red, and green, and a beet
Picked some more purple okra today, plus a beet, and plenty of green okra. Here are some of those compared with an orange okra. The purple okra on the left is the one from yesterday’s color wheel; it was picked smaller than these today, and looks almost black with some green. The ones today look more purple, somewhere between beet and fuschia; maybe red violet. The orange okra (same one from yesterday) looks red-orange or maroon with a bit of green. And the green okra looks, well, green.
