What color are french fries?

French fries can be various colors depending on the potato variety and how they're cooked:

* Golden brown: This is the most common color, achieved through frying until crispy.

* Pale yellow: Freshly cut fries before frying.

* Slightly brown: When fries are cooked at a lower temperature, they might have a lighter brown color.

* Dark brown: If fries are overcooked, they might become darker brown, almost black in some cases.

So, it's not a simple answer! It really depends on the context.
