I also think there are other colour modifiers besides the major ones, that may affect flower colour in certain lines. There are reds that have almost an orange hue in the anthers as soon as they open, but many start out as a 'clear yellow' and the same shade as the petals. And I did see some opening when still immature and looking downright greenish, but it quickly turns a warmer shade. The key seems to be, to watch the flower as it matures, for the warm shades vs staying greenish and at most an 'amber' mix of greenish-orange in the final stage.

Thanks! That's a bummer on your crossed seed, at least you still have F2 seed from the sound of it.
Would GWR/black tomato have similar flower colors due to presence of gf/gf?
