正确表达The kitchen wall is tomato red.
汉语用“名词+色”构成“番茄色”这样的名词短语,学习者便把它整块搬到 be 后作表语,写成 tomato color。英语里这类颜色词作表语时一般用 tomato red(或 tomato-colored)这样的形容词形式,而不能直接套用带 color 的名词短语。改成 tomato red 后,句子才有一个合格的颜色表语,意思仍是形容一种偏橙的红色。

易错句子She wore a tomato dress to the party.
正确表达She wore a tomato-red dress to the party.
这是汉语“番茄色的裙子”语序的直接迁移:把颜色词放在名词前。但英语中光杆的 tomato 放在名词前会被理解成“番茄”这个果实,于是 a tomato dress 听起来像是“用番茄做的/印着番茄的裙子”,表意跑偏。表示颜色时要用复合颜色形容词 tomato-red 作定语,才能明确这是番茄红这种颜色。
