I have a sneaky suspicion that Luna and Disco are the same or one came from the other as a cross. As to color, you cannot really go by pictures. Some cameras "see" colors better and even differently. Digital cameras have the most trouble with the"colder" side of the spectrum.The color range between blue and purple is a good example. Except for very high end cameras, dark purple tend to come out as navy blue. The only true dark purple I've seen from a digital camera is where the camera cost a thousand dollars. I've got three digital cameras. I can take a picture of the exact same flower and when I upload and open there are three different colors and it still isn't true to the actual flower (see picture). Even the exact same brand and model of digital cameras will see colors differently.

Then you have to consider that computer monitors don't translate color the same either. VDT's in my opinion do a better job a seeing true color than LEDs. Unless your monitor as been Gamma Optimized, you won't see true color either and then even with optimization there can be shifts.
