Bought these acans a couple weeks ago and was told they were Mardi Gras. From pictures I've seen online, Mardi Gras acans have a pronounced deep purple center. Are these Mardi Gras?

Do they look the same under a more white spectrum? Sometimes heavy blues washout or cover up purple and blues in corals.

Here's what they look like under whites. I haven't seen many pictures of Mardi Gras in whites so I'm not sure if they're supposed to look like this.
