I’ve only seen red, yellow, and green bell peppers. Maybe orange

Red, orange, yellow and green are all the same varient, but at different ripenesses. The others are different varients.
Mostly just a novelty. Throw in a bit more colour, if available.

There are some people who constantly see the yellow lights as orange lights for some unknown reason and their partner then immediately makes fun of them every time they mention the wrong color. For those people the orange bell pepper gets referenced a bunch.

Some unknown reason
Is actively colorblind.

Something something they’re technically “amber” not “yellow”?

Red: Stop not eating them.

Fun fact: Bell peppers are tasty.

Traffic lights are the same colors as a subset of bell peppers?

There’s some South African grocery chains that sold a 3 pack of red, yellow, green bell peppers.
Also, for some reason SA calls traffic lights “robots.” Supposedly, it’s because when traffic cops were replaced by signals, it was a “robotic traffic signal.”
So when you add these two things, you get…

My local grocery store sells them like this, they’re actually labelled as traffic light peppers!

I've seen them sold in 3 packs as "traffic light capsicums" with a red, green and yellow one. I would have written the showerthought the other way around though as all traffic light colours (red, amber/yellow, and green) are possible capsicum colours but not all capsicum colours are represented in traffic lights (purple, orange, white etc.)

So are mangos.

In the Midland region of the U.S., bell peppers, either fresh or when stuffed and pickled, are sometimes called mangoes.

That sounds like a troll. Check the edit log.

But in reverse!
I don’t like green ones. They taste unripe. No go!
Yellow, meh, better but a bit bitter still. Hol-up!
Red: lessgooo!
