Some subtle color differences. A lot of the purple tomatoes were an unappealing brown color but this last plant I grew has again given me hope of a big purple tomato. I think purple x red genetics makes a brown purple and purple x pink makes a better purple?? A red submarine rootstock tomato for color reference.

Lower pics: Tomatoes are alike to potatoes in the amount of green they will get. Those exposed to more light get more green. Those grown in the dark have a blanched appearance lacking chlorophyll. These with the blanched appearance grew down into a dark window well. They're the same genetically (domingo). The other two were exposed to full daylight.
