Thanks Tom - I wasn't sure which colors have both types of pigments. What I
was trying to get at was - would it be a luminata if no anthocyanins were in
the 'dark' part of the iris? Like maybe a cream ground orange? (get those
pixies to pour some cream on some peaches!) Or are the anthocyanins part of
the genetic package?
