Yes -- coral, flamingo and tangerine pink are all shades produced by
lycopene.
I used the more general term to include not only a pink self, such as BEVERLY
SILLS, but also halo patterns like HALO IN PINK. Plus plicatas with violet
stitching on pink ground and bicolors with pink standards and violet falls
and complex patterns like SOSTENIQUE.
Anything in which the tangerine pink has actually expressed itself, although
the violet-on-pink patterns do provide a bit of an edge. Pink selfs can be
pink by virtue of the TB anthocyanin inhibitor, but the patterns show up only
when it is absent. Because that inhibitor doesn't affect the aril pathways
it can't suppress the purples from the aril side of the family.
A cross to a pink self may thus produce seedlings in which there is so much
dark pigment from the aril side that the pink is obscured -- which may be
impressive and fully worthy of introduction without providing any real
insight to its potential for pink.
