Default Peppers?

My wife has been given a green pepper, but she only likes the red
and
yellow ones, is there any chance that the green one will change
colour and taste by trying to ripen it by keeping it with bananas?

No. It will just go bad.


That does seem likely, but I'm not quite sure about it. I think I've had
green peppers show a bit of streaky ripening when simply lying about, so
it's worth trying the banana, even if only for the sake of experience.
If you don't want a green one anyway, you've got nothing to lose.
