Yes. Antho is purple/black but it is made more pronounced by sunlight. Where sun hits the fruit, it darkens. Sometimes they will be dark on one side or dark on top with light color beneath the petals for an interesting starburst pattern. The more antho the darker and the further down from the stem it manifests. I don't understand it, but have seen it.
I like the green shoulders. Typically, that portion of the fruit ripens a bit darker than the rest. Sometimes, not so much, but it stays green as they ripen. Check out this article: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/201...omato-ripening

I don't think I'm experienced enough to really make that distinction yet. And speaking of, I had listed this as "antho shoulders" - when they probably should have been "green" as you stated.
"Antho" is more purple/black, right?

I've noticed that those that have green shoulders tend to have better flavor than those that don't. I read somewhere that the 'even ripening gene' (if there is such a thing) is often detrimental to flavor. Have you ever noticed that?
