Abstract : Abstract- Pepper or Capsicumis one of the commodity that can be used as an ornamental plant. Plantingpepper as an
ornamental plant have different goalswithcultivationforproduction. Pepper as an ornamental plant must have qualities that
can add beauty so it can be enjoyed from both the aesthetic aspect of the leaves, flowers or fruit. Diversity of pepper
cultivars has the potential to be developed as an ornamental. The development of ornamental peppers are expected to be new
innovations to provide good quality ornamental plants, multipurpose and can be certainly provide economic value to where it
is grown.Improved varieties of ornamental pepper is generally done through the combining parental traits of ornamental
pepper that has certain advantages. Fruit color character is one parameter determining who often become the basis for
choosing the consumers who use pepper for garnish and cullinary applications. This study aimed to identify the genetic
diversity of ornamental pepperfrom the introduction variety Razzamatazz and Minimix ornamental pepper crossingbased on
the fruit color parameters. Observation of the color parameters L*, a*, b* conducted using a Chroma Meter - Konica Minolta
- Minolta CM-2006, and white standard color was used for calibration. Color parameters data observation were analyzed for
genetic diversity shown by the Coefficient of Genetic Diversity (KKG) and clump analysis (cluster analysis) so that the
closed relationship between the ornamental pepper cultivars was known. The results showed that the color parameters a *
and b * has a broad genetic diversity, whereas the color parameters L * has a narrow genetic diversity. There are 3 groups of
the offspring fromRazzamatazz and Minimix crossing based on color parameters L*, a*, and b * is the group I consists of
female parental (Razzamatazz), number of offspring B1, B5, B6, B8, B3 and B4, while group II consisted of a number of
offspring B2 and B7, and Group III consists of male parentalMinimix. All the offspring had the fruit color similar with the
female parentripe fruit color that is red color.
Keywords- genetic diversity, fruit color, ornamental pepper
