one of the rare cases where smartmatch is really helpful.

Note the warning, so not meant for production code. 

use strict;
use warnings;

my %fruit = (
             'apple' => ['red','green'],
             'kiwi' => 'green',
             'banana' => 'yellow',
            );

for my $search ("green","red" ){

    my @matches = grep { $search ~~ $fruit{$_} } keys %fruit;

    print "\n\n Matches for <$search> = @matches\n\n";
}

UPDATE

allowed multiple matches

seriously, your data structure is misdesigned . If you want singular elements put them into an array too.

    my %fruit = (
                 'apple'  => ['red','green'],
                 'kiwi'   => ['green'],
                 'banana' => ['yellow'],
                );
