or whatever we are calling it) thought to be due to the presence of
different pigments? Or both?

I don't recall seeing anything about the size of the plastids, but rather
have the impression that it is their number that is significant -- with the
differences in intensity explained by their varying densities and the hue by
the mixture present in a specific cultivar.
