I'm of the belief that fruit and vegetable packaging is often designed to hide defects, and to make it harder to visually discern how fresh the produce is (on top of not letting you touch it).
Some examples.
Red netting on oranges makes it hard to see imperfections on the skin. Green netting does the same for avocados. Costco sells corn in trays that are cling wrapped with a wrap that is unmistakably designed to hide the ends of the corn (the easiest way to discern if corn has gone bad). Other fruits, and veggies like melons, onions, and potatoes have similar netting with colors that seem to be carefully chosen to maximize visual clutter.
Why aren't all the nets the same color?
Costco sometimes sells pears in plastic trays with multiple creases that cause reflections that make it very difficult to see what the pears inside look like.
Supermarkets also sometimes play with the light around the vegetables. Some areas have so much red in the light that you better take the items to a different area to be able to see if they are yellow or orange.
