Orange then yellow and only eat them raw. Don`t like red or green.

It's all the same pepper... just at varying stages of ripeness. I like the orangey and red colored ones because they are more mature and thus sweeter. I kind of buy this - but then at the same time, when I go to buy pepper plants to plant in the garden, they have green, red, and yellow plants. And all seem to have the same timeframe for harvesting. But I do agree - I prefer the red or yellow because they are sweeter!

Red is my favorite. One of my dogs absolutely LOVES red peppers, too. He can smell me cutting one and will come running for his little pieces!

Actually, they’re not varying stages of ripeness. (orange/red striped are not the traditional bell pepper—they are a mutant variation. They are Aloha Peppers. They are relatively new (3916 I think) and have a citrusy/tropical note.

I can eat yellow and orange. Green gives me such bad heartburn I can't eat it. It's been like that since I was a child. My Mom would make stuffed green peppers and I would cry knowing it was going to "hurt". I just didn't know how to explain it as a small child. My parents thought I just didn't like it. Being on the lower income level as a child, there was no compromise. If Mom made it, you were eating it and nothing was going to be wasted. By 10 I was able to explain that it "burned" and then they understood and I only had to eat the filling and skip eating the actual pepper. My Dad would eat it for me. LOL

Yellow is my favorite, followed by red. Orange if I have to. Never green.

Purple are my favorite, followed by red, orange and yellow. Green peppers bother my stomach. I grew purple peppers in my garden last year and loved them- even more fun is that the leftovers change color to a more blue color. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a purple pepper and I’m still hunting for scientific sources on the pepper color question. I’m reading a lot more than I ever imagined about peppers 😜 I'm not sure that I've had any before last year. I saw them at Lowes and decided "why not?" and bought a plant to grow. They ended up being my favorite.

I like orange and yellow ones (we had garlic basil pasta with those for dinner tonight). Red in a pinch. I don't like green, I don't remember the last time I bought any. I use the other colors for anything I cook that calls for peppers.
I have never seen a purple one in the grocery store. If I do, I will definitely try it!

For eating raw or lightly cooked I like red the most but orange and yellow are eatable. Green needs to be cooked for weeks in the crock pot before I can eat them without belching.

It really depends on what I am making as to which one I will buy.

This has been very enlightening to me. I spent most my life not eating peppers, but I love the smell of them. My mom and mil always had green. About 10 years or so ago, I decided to continually try peppers because I loves the way they smelled and of course, they were green.
I've avoided all other colors, but sometimes cook with them for the visa, but I eat around them.
The other night I decided to eat the red ones too and they didn't suck.
Era: I honestly thought green would be most liked

I love them all. I specifically cook with green in some recipes - they have a stronger flavor in Creole/Cajun dishes. I love all of them raw.
I got purple peppers at the farm stand last summer and they were fantastic.
