A “self” is an Iris with standards and falls the same color. 
A “bicolor” is an Iris with standards lighter color than the falls. 
A “neglecta” is a purple bicolor. 
A “plicata” is an Iris with petals sanded, veined or otherwise marked with 
a color darker than the ground color. 
A “variegata” is an Iris with standards of yellow, gold or orange and 
falls heavily veined a darker color or completely of a darker color. 
An “amoena” is an Iris with white standards and colored falls, sometimes 
veined or margined white. 
Names of colors in capitals are those of Ridgeway’s Color Standards and 
Nomenclature. It is unfortunate that copies of this work are limited but until 
we have a more widely distributed standard the conscientious describer can 
do no better than follow the only definite and reliable standard available. The 
Ridgeway names in many instances are color names in common usage and in 
most cases they can be fairly interpreted even by those not acquainted with 
the color charts.
