Matching nodes based on attributes in another node-set

Hi,

this sounds like an easy thing, but I haven't managed to find a
solution....
What I want to do is to select the nodes in a node-set that has a
value that exists as an attribute in another node-set. Example:

First node-set (in xsl variable 'fruits'):
    <fruit>
        <name>apple</name>
        <color>green</color>
   </fruit>
   <fruit>
        <name>banana</name>
        <color>yellow</color>
   </fruit>


Second node-set (in xsl variable 'colors'):
    <color @name="green" />
    <color @name="red" />

Failed attempt at selecting, but it gives a hint on what I want to do:
    <xsl:value-of select="$fruits/fruit[color=$colors/color/@name]"/>
I would expect to get back
    <fruit>
        <name>apple</name>
        <color>green</color>
   </fruit>

Thanks for any help!
