Color Designation Disclaimer

  • Most of us only want enough color information to enter
  • ur dahlias in a show
  • However, the ADS Classification and Handbook of

Dahlias strives for accuracy

  • Therefore, we should report color as accurately as

possible following the ADS protocol – especially when we judge on the ADS bench or in the trial garden.

Color Classification on Fully Double Dahlias

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Assigning Color to Fully Double Dahlias

Color determined by colors appearing on either – or both – the face or reverse of the petals (ray florets).

  • Predominant color as seen from 3 feet will determine

color class and be listed first.

  • Color(s) of petals listed with capital letter(s) with

predominate color first.

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Assigning Color to Fully Double Dahlias

  • Color designations will be in capital letters – with reverse

petal color(s) listed in brackets [ ].

  • Brackets will typically be used in stellar, novelty, and

some IDs with obvious reverse colors.

  • A slash (/) will appear between face and reverse colors.

determines color in a fully double dahlia.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

[Brackets] are Not Common

  • Brackets are to be used for obvious reverse color(s)
  • Typically novelties, stellars, and IDs
  • With a close look you’ll see reverse colors on many

balls, miniature balls, poms, and formal decs

  • Use common sense when listing reverse colors

Orchette (continued)

Nitty-Gritty Stuff

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Eye Zone

  • A uniform band of contrasting color(s) less than ⅓ the

length of the petals.

  • If more than ⅓ the length of the petals bloom should be

classified blend or bicolor.

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Light Blend or Dark Blend?

  • Imagine a dahlia with the colors

– YL 19 (a light blend color) and – OR 15 (a dark blend color)

  • Is it a light blend or a dark blend?
  • If predominant color is yellow, it’s a light blend

(YL 19 / OR 15)

  • If predominant color is orange, it’s a dark blend

(OR 15 / YL 19). Variety shown is dark blend.

slide-47

Margins with Contrasting Colors

classifying a dahlia’s color?

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Blush

  • Is it a blush or is it a blend?
  • A light, uniformly tinged coloration on petals represents a

blush.

  • The presence of a blush is not a color fault.
  • Leniency should be the rule when judges evaluate

cultivars that display a blush since the blush in a cultivar can vary substantially.

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Blush in White Dahlias

  • Judges need to remember that a slight blush of ivory,

cream, lavender, or pink often enhances a white bloom.

  • These blushes do not decrease the purity of the bloom’s

appearance but may increase its beauty.

Final Test

  • Classify this dahlia. You have 10 seconds.
slide-54
SLIDE 54

Final Test – Answer (we think) NX DP [DP] / LB / PK / Y

  • Dominant color dark pink so that’s color class
  • DP is on reverse, so listed first but in brackets
  • LB colors on face and listed second
  • Since bloom is fully double, all colors listed in caps
