Thanks. Many of the example varieties I mention are ones I haven't personally grown, so I had to make some inferences. Some example pictures would be wonderful, especially if they can help discriminate between the brown and purple blacks. I didn't want to use ones scraped from google and I didn't have any personal photos for them.

I've got seed for one variety that produces a red-center, but I haven't been clear on the name.

Thanks for noting the varieties in the wrong place. I actually had "Jaune Flammée" on my private list as a Beta orange type, due to multiple pieces of evidence.

I haven't worked out what the apricot mutation does to the color pathway. I didn't look into it because I couldn't find any available strains with the gene and there were other 'orange' traits to talk about. The 'apricot' gene seems to only be in some of the research tomatoes so far.
