About the iris's color

Tennessee has two state flowers — the iris (cultivated, 1933) and the passionflower (wild, 1919). The flower's name comes from the Greek goddess Iris, the rainbow messenger between gods and humans. In ToonTone Guess, we represent the iris with the hex value #4B0082 — the color most people see when they picture the bloom in a vase or in a field.
