Answer

" Sara ăn một quả táo đỏ, John ăn quả xanh" => Grammatically, it's correct. But the meaning is different. Vietnamese people can understand in two ways:
1. Sara eats a red apple, John eats a GREEN one (John eats an apple, in green color)
2. Sara eats a red apple, John eats an UNRIPE apple (the apple that John eats, is not ripe yet)

So, you can say:
"Sara ăn quả táo màu đỏ, còn John ăn quả màu xanh" - for option 1

Answer

I think your sentence is right in grammar, but people will usually say like above.
