I still do not get why people buy those sad pale tomatoes in winter.

I've never seen a "sad pale tomato", regardless of the season.

The dutch greenhouse tomatoes were so sad and pale in the 90s our eastern neighbours called them 'holländische Wasserbombe' (dutch waterbombs). They're better nowadays. As it turns out it's more profitable to plant tomatoes people actually want to eat...

Tesco tomatoes are a bright, happy red - and remain so even after six months in the fridge.

Yes can't easily use the colour to judge how tasty tomatoes are, some of the best ones I've ever had were a big green looking, but were grown in the Portuguese sun naturally.
