I find that the tendency is for darker bulbs and corms to produce darker flowers - eg. deep chestnut-coloured tulip bulbs are more likely to produce deep red tulips than paler ones - but there's no guarantee as far as I know.
However, if I wanted deep purple crocuses mainly in one area, I'd plant the darker corms there and cross my fingers.

Sounds reasonable dove. . Thanks
I tend to sort mixed tulips the same way. It doesn't always work though, so for pots I buy single colours.
