The peacock green is

the falls as well as the styles on a couple
of these siblings, I might try
a sibling cross to see what happened.

Have you tried examining the falls with a 10 to 30X magnifying glass or
pocket microscope? I'd describe the greens I was working with as more
emerald that peacock, but we may be talking about the same pigmentation.
One of my more memorable seedlings had very pale blue-violet standards and
emerald-dusted ivory falls. Striking when it opened, but not
introduced because it faded quickly and had poor substance. Unlike the
chartreuse and mint greens, this brighter green appeared to be
concentrated in the top layer of cells.
