Is there a correlation between the color of a cherry and its tartness?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33172points) January 16th, 2012

Life is not, as we know, a bowl of cherries. Especially the light red ones that I ate this morning. They seemed sourer that usual.

Then I noticed that the darker, deeper red (almost maroon) cherries in the bowl tended to be sweeter than the lighter red ones.

Was that coincidence, or is there a correlation between cherry color and tartness?
