:Thank you Marilyn! So all luminatas are blue (or some variant)?

No (unless there's a lot of latitude in what you mean by "some variant").
The two classes of pigments (the anthocyanins and the caretenoids)
can be combined in all sorts of delightful ways. The anthocyanins are
blue, violet, purple...(there are red ones, but they don't exist in irises).
The carotenoids are yellow, orange, pink...
When both are present, the visual effect can be reddish, brown, purple,
greenish, gray, mulberry, even black!
In short, the light areas on a luminata can be any color that can be
the "ground" color of a plicata: white, cream, yellow, orange, pink; and
the dark areas on a luminata can be any of the colors the markings on
a plicata can be: blue, violet, reddish, brown,...
Cheers, Tom.
