I Bought My Mom an Apple

I bought my mom an apple
but it wasn't red or green;
it was more like bluish-purple
or some color in-between.
I wouldn't call the blueberries
I bought her very blue;
they were rather reddish-orange
like a dark vermilion hue1.
The oranges I got for her
weren't orange as you'd think;
they were turquoise2 on the inside
and the outer peels were pink.
The strawberries I purchased
weren't particularly red;
They were white with purple polka dots
and silver stripes instead.
I got all these by shopping
where I'd never shopped before.
That's the last time I buy groceries
at the Rainbow Grocery Store!
