Sutera cordata also come in different colors as well, white, lavender (violet), and magenta/violet (pink/purple). So far, in the Pikmin species, all three of these colors have been used, each symbolizing a generation of Pikmin, or a new game in the series. The Magenta color has been used on all new Pikmin colors (not counting Bulbmin) in Pikmin 2, or the second generation of Pikmin species. The lavender color has been used to top all the known new species in Pikmin 3, or the third generation of Pikmin.
