WHY is the fruit green at first and then changes color?

Photosynthesis continues in the newly formed fruit, meaning the chlorophyll pigment, which has a green color, is present. As the fruit matures, the chlorophyll breaks down and the synthesis of pigments of other colors intensifies in the fruit. This attracts animals, which contribute to the spread of the seeds.

The contrasting color against the green foliage serves to encourage animals to find the ripe fruits without touching the unripe ones.
