teosinte and hopi blue maize

while i was in the garden i noticed that one of the hopi blue plants and one of the northern tepehuan teosinte plants both shared the same peculiar ( in my experience ) coloration...they are akin to one another and they are both annuals so i am left wondering if it is genetic or if it is environmental...they are located near to one another in the bed...but none of the other plants share this trait...more research i see with some more observation thrown in...if it is a genetic trait i wonder if there's folk taxonomy for it...questions questions.
