White Knight a tricolor?

Question

Hey #greggang!
A couple months ago @lemrobs and I swapped some cuttings. The top cut of the #whiteknightphilodendron she gave me is working on its first leaf and there is... merlot/pink?!

I didn't think they put out anything other than white, but it turns out she has a cutting from the plant that has some pink, too. I thought that #philodendron tricolor where only WPP?

Does anyone have any insight on this? It seems unsurprising that it would put out some pink giving it's cousins, but I can't find anywhere that this happens.

PS
One photo is the original, the other has a filter to brighten it and show the color a bit better.

Mine has a leaf that has a good bit of pink that has actually sort of faded as the leaf has hardened off. I just assumed they throw pink sometimes 🤷‍♀️

So that area was like flaming pink when it first unfurled it’s faded but you can still see some faintly on the white.  And you can see some of the pink coming up the stem

The best way I’ve found to identify White Knight is by the leaf petioles. If it’s a dark maroon with white edges, then it’s a White Knight. Mine has only ever had white variegated leaves, but I’ve seen some with white and pink variegation, and they’re stunning 😍😍😍
