Just checking answers for Times Jumbo Cryptic 1076 and unable to understand/explain one answer. Would be interested to know why the answer is as noted below.

Fruit very different from peach? answer LEMON.

Apart from both being colours and therefore 'different' I can't see the logic. Any experts able to enlighten me please??
