To me, only 'an apple' is correct. We all know apples come in more colours than red, but still red is the colour most commonly associated with apples.

Either. Apples vary in color.

I think you should use something else as your descriptor. Apples come in all sorts of colors other than red. Anyway, it should be an apple.

Both are correct. Personally, I'd say "an apple".

"Color of apples." I think it's a really bad phrase, very "romance novel-ish."
