A smooth, even tone of mauve with a pink sheen, most effectively marked by a rosy brown signal patch at the side of the beard. Most unusual and difficult to describe to give any idea of its charm.

McCombs, Lila (1948). A Critical Evaluation of Older Irises. The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 110(July 1948): 59. Jacob Sass drew a startling breath of beauty out of the ether when he created and named Ozone. The huge, perfectly formed blossom of this distinctive variety is a peculiar shade of lilac-rose with a broad, unveined brown haft its only contrast. (McCombs, 1948).
