Do Darker Colored Fruits and Vegetables Have More Nutrients Than Lighter Colored Ones?
No, the darkness of a fruit or vegetable’s color (called hue) is not necessarily related to its nutrient diversity or nutrient density. The reason is very simple.
A relatively small number of nutrients provide fruits and vegetables with their color. (The majority of these nutrients are pigments-flavonoids, carotenoids, melanins, porphyrins, and a few other categories of nutrients). But, more of a specific nutrient that provides color will make the food darker in that color.

Sources of Vitamin A
Although vitamin A is found only in foods of animal origin, some fruits and vegetables contain compounds, called cartenoids, that can be converted into vitamin A by your body. Food sources of preformed vitamin A include calf liver, milk, and eggs.
