So I grew 5 Black Naga plants this year. 3 were green plants, brown pods. 1 was green plant, red pods. 1 was a purple plant with pods that go from green to purple to a light brown.  Which of these are growing true. Pictures of the Purple plant with brownish pods.

proof of variation within a theme,the purple one im almost sure is a mutation(THE PURPLE ONE), but the red one may or may not be a mutation and may or may not be a cross, because red tends to be a dominant gene color and is present within all chocolate and other color peppers as well and the red gene can become dominant at any given time
 
my friend has noticed this with Congo chocolate Habs that i think where isolated,some plants exhibited red pods
 
that purple one is a beautiful plant and deserves to have seed saved from it for future generations, im sure there may even be a few on here that would be interested in some if you where willing to part with them
 
thanks your friend Joe
 
the purple looks like possibly suntan. most superhots have purple in the stems and will get a purpleish suntan where it's not protected from the sun by the leaves
 
then again you could have a cross. i'd have to see closer probably to tell you with any certainty. all 3 pics look like the same plant to me. 
 
The pictures are all of just the purple plant. Sorry, didn't specify that haha.   I am most def saving seeds from the purple plant and would be more than willing to share so if anyone is interested. And you can def tell it is from a mutation, I've had the plant in 50/50 sun/shade most of the year so i don't think its from suntan.
 
Most of my plants are in 5gal fab pots. 4 of my larger 2nd years are in 20 gals.

Looks like one of my naga morich plants is turning purple?  It's in half sun half shade.

I'm inclined to call it suntan.  My Naga Morich is showing the same spots on the pods, but they still ripen to red.
