Kay, variegation will vary greatly from plant to plant even leaf to leaf, that is normal. Your variegated Curcumas are the same, variegation differs greatly. Curcuma petiolata variegata 'Emperor' is the name of your variegated curcuma. there is a Curcuma 'Figi' which is variegated but, had yet to be proven to be a different species than 'Emperor'.
I actually have a 'sport' of 'Emperor' that has held true for 2 years now, as well as any rhizomes cut from it. We have named it Curcuma petiolata 'Gingerland's Snowdrift'. This picture will show you how much the variegation can vary.
