Not sure which is the best newsgroup for this so you've got it in two!!
My wife has been given a green pepper, but she only likes the red and yellow
ones, is there any chance that the green one will change colour and taste by
trying to ripen it by keeping it with bananas?

No. It will just go bad.

Not necessarily. I've had many a green pepper ripen to red in storage.

That does seem likely, but I'm not quite sure about it. I think I've had
green peppers show a bit of streaky ripening when simply lying about, so
it's worth trying the banana, even if only for the sake of experience.
If you don't want a green one anyway, you've got nothing to lose.

It will ripen somewhat to red, not to yellow. Don't think it needs to be
with bananas to do that. We just leave them out on the counter.
