Persimmon can be blue, but that picture is edited and over-saturated. They're darker and have a powder coat, like blueberries. Wouldn't be surprised if the apple picture was also edited, but they can have pink flesh.

I've eaten that apple and it actually looks like that.

So I wonder if maybe that blue ~~oran berry~~ persimmon has maybe been bred to be bluer?

I've never seen a blue Japanese persimmon but maybe it varies due to variety.
