Hi Linda,
To the best of my knowledge I will answer your question. (Correct me
anyone if I'm incorrect.)
I have learned that the violet color in the halfs (found in GIFT OF
DREAMS) are from anthocyanin pigments. So are the colors scarlet, red
violet, blue to deep violet and crimson. These colors are water
soluble.
Pinks (like CONTRITE), oranges, and yellows are carotenoid pigments.
These are oil soluble. Note: water and oil solubles do not mix.
I've also learned that when crossing both phenotypes - one has the
possibility of producing a "blended" result/ or iris. The color
pigments are not truely blended (not yellow x blue = green). They are
not a mix - but rather the colors (though they appear together in the
same area.) occupy a different part of the same area.
The browns and red-browns in an iris are the same result of this kind
of mix. I hope this helps to clarify how this color combination (and
other combinations) come about. Does anyone have anything to add to
this?
