"chinese 5 color" in bathroom pepper has turned red. so it is not chinese 5 color.

"When fertilizing your peppers, look for 5-10-10 fertilizer. This contains half as much nitrogen as phosphate and potassium. A higher phosphate and potassium number will encourage more fruit production. A lower nitrogen number will help the plant grow, without doing it at the expense of producing fruit." https://www.backyard-vegetable-gardening.com/fertilizing-peppers.html
