fruits are kind of a dessert, right? so are brownies.

Lol no. They are entirely taking the piss.
If their piss is red they need to go to the doctor as per this shart

Physicists might argue that, but black is a color linguistically and in common usage; I'd argue that since OP was generally speaking in a linguistic context, linguistic rules override physics pedantry.
linguistic rules override physics pedantry.
Idk why, maybe because I'm a scientist, but this speaks to something in my soul

A chart made by someone that's never eaten a whole bag of beet chips in one sitting, I see.

Yes indeed. Before we had "orange", and also "purple" everything was just "red" which is why we have red onions and red cabbage that are anything but red and several species of bird are called red despite being clearly orange coloured.

I thought briefly about editing that to say, "in this context", but I thought it might be redundant.
It's like the whole fruit/vegetable debate, and there not really being a scientific category of "vegetables" that aligns with the common usage. However, in common usage, the loose, lay definition of "vegetable" is far more useful than the scientific, taxonomical one.
Context is king.

But aren't oranges actually green?
*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.
It might depend on the variety, there are many, many kinds of oranges.

Nah that's apples
That tracks. Steve Jobs was known for his enjoyment of fruit, to a potentially problematic degree.

I think you misunderstand. If you've eaten a whole bag of beet chips you should see the doctor.

I have tetrachromacy and piss in colors that would drive most into madness.

Sometimes I learn something that makes me think, how the hell had I not figured that out sometime in the past half-century.

Apparently oranges and other citrus fruit (and others, like bananas) are "degreened" with ethylene.
Here's a video with bananas. https://youtu.be/jzjBAAv9nxc
I can also say that bananas are quite yellow when ripe, without additives. Have had banana trees in 2 different houses, of 2 different banana varieties.

Engagement bait.
right on. this tweet is like saying "there's not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K." there obviously is, but it's targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.

Dear Mr Encyclopedia, when were raspberries discovered? Wasn't Avalon "the isle of apples?" When did Christian bibles start describing the forbidden fruit as "apples?" Were they not red apples?
What color did they call ripe ribe avu-crispa (a gooseberry)?
The Biblical fruit is just given as "pərî" and could be any fruit. Avalon is from the Welsh aflonydd, "peaceful", so named because it was King Arthur's vacation spot. Raspberries have not yet been discovered, at time of writing.

Even if they were, they're not called greens.

Even if those leaves were a fruit, they're not called greens. Some kinds of leaves are called that as a general term, but not the ones in the picture. He's wrong on so many levels!

A fact that I hadn't realized. TIL.
Prior to the fruit it was just considered a shade of red
