There was an ad hoc committee formed to define "The Luminata Color Pattern". It
consisted of Keppel, Nelson and Stahly. It is about one page long, single
spaced, typewritten which I can send snail mail to anyone interested. Otherwise
it can be found as "Luminata--Fancy in the Altogether" in the AIS Bulletin,
April 1972.
Part of this says:
"Descriptively, then, the luminata has these characteristics:
1. The beard and an area to either side of the beard are white or are colored
with
carotenoid pigmentation (yellow, pink or orange).
2. Style arms are similarly colored, although there may be a light
anthocyanin-like coloration on the upper portion.
3. Petals are marked in irregular patterns (described as brushed or marbled)
with an anthocyanin color which diminishes in some degree toward petal edges.
The marbling is produced by veining of a non-anthocyanin color (white, yellow,
pink or orange). Petal margins may have a pronounced non-anthocyanin edge or
rim, or the edge may have only a slight lightening of coloration; or the effect
may be anywhere between these extremes. The degree of anthocyanin marking
ranges from very heavy and dark to a very light brushing."
Lloyd Zurbrigg mentions MOONLIT SEAS. I believe a picture of it was in the 94
or 95 AIS calendar, though not identified. Marilyn
