I think its more to do with the size of the chilli - the smaller the hotter. A lot of chillis with go red if you leave them on the plant but in saying that theres always exceptions to the rule :)

the heat depends on what variety they are.

"As a rule red fresh fruit are two or three times hotter than green fruit, and dried pods are up to ten times hotter than fresh pods. " "The seeds and white pith of a chilli are the hottest part, so remove them if you don't want your dish to be too fiery. " Peri Peri is made from the tips of red chillies. . I love the stuff... I dry my chillies as well as freeze the prime ones in sealed labelled bags. . a 1/2 tsp of my dried can make a dish "throat firey" but with a magic flavour without KILLING the actual dish flavours. . I dont understand folks that want it so hot they cant taste anything else... bravado, I imagine... . :}}
