COLORS
For purposes of classification, all colors, shades, tints, tones, and combinations thereof, known to be found in cultivated forms of Dahlias have been grouped and sub-divided by the following general titles. Classification is determined by the predominant color or colors appearing on the face of the ray florets; the color of the involute rays may determine the color effect, hence the classification.
Classification by color of disc centered dahlias is determined by the predominant color appearing on the face of the ray florets except for ORCHIDS, which are classified by the color of the reverse side of the ray florets. The predominant color on the ray floret will be listed with a capital letter/ with the secondary colors of the petaloids in COLLARETTES, domes of ANEMONES, eye zones where apparent and the inside color of ORCHIDS listed in lower case letters.

The Official Color guide is the Royal Horticultural Society Color Charts. In the listings to follow the RHS Color Charts are cross referenced by Fan Number and Letter.
