In my opinion, there is no "perfect" ripeness. Last year I waited until late fall to eat any of the Satsumas on two small trees, and they were watery and bland.
This year I have been eating a couple a week and right now they are delicious. Sweet with just enough acid bite.
My fruit are yellowish green, but the insides are a nice orange color.
So if you want sweeter fruit, wait a few weeks or more. Cool weather is what causes the skins to turn orange.
