Only some apples are red.
And, most apples don't even look like apples. Every apple you've ever eaten has its origins from a single tree, found by chance in the past by people who are now wealthy from selling delicious apples plucked from a forest of clones.
Most people (I've asked) will visualize a red apple if you ask them to visualize an apple.
Additionally, some people don't visualize apples. They may, for example, only visualize people.
Finally, some people don't visualize anything. Some of those people still know what an apple looks like, even if it's the size of a grape, purple when ripe, and has never been seen before.

- kordlessagain 4y agoI've asked at least a hundred people. Sometimes they are reported as green!
- pixl97 4y agoI think for a lot of people, at least in the US, the idea of an apple being red is presented by cartoons, for example Snow White. That along with the tyranny of the Red Delicious being foist on kids that didn't know any better. If you said imagine a good tasting apple I would envision something colored like a honeycrisp. Or an apple pie apple being green.
