smell them if they smell strong of sweetness they're probably good. u can still eat a mango when it has green on it but the more red they are the more ripe they are.

to make a comparison.... a Peach or Pear....
firm but tender..

touch it! if you feel there's soft there ready !enjoy

It should be soft.Sqeeze it it should give in a little.It should sweet fruity tropical smell is a little bite strong.

It will smell like a delicious mango and give slightly under finger pressure. (If it doesn't smell much and doesn't give much, it's too green. If it's very very soft, it's too far gone.)That's a better guide than color, since color can fool you sometimes.
