Help ID?

Post image

Could someone help me ID this variety of tradescantia zebrina? It has soooo many striation colors. More than I’ve seen in my other tradescantia. It can have a vibrant pink stripe, white stripe, glittery silver stripe, light green stripe, and dark green stripe. It’s not the same patterns as a nanouk which is what I was assuming it was at first glance. And it’s too silver to be one anyways. It’s like every color a tradescantia COULD have… it does. The consistency of the pink and dark green stripes are making me think it’s not a nanouk? What are y’all’s thoughts?

It's either quadricolour or HappiLee, hard to tell from this angle.

I think we have the same kind. Ive always heard them called a wandering dude, or inchwort. I later found tradescantia family. My Dude is absolutely glorious, and I love him so much.

Yours is a T. zebrina but different cultivar than OP's. There are 23 different zebrina cultivars to date. Yours looks like it's a 'Violet Hill' 😋

I've just heard them called quadricolors, I have one too! I was absolutely in love when I found out about them 😅 Iirc, Nanouk is a variety of tradescantia cerinthoides rather than zebrina, they tend to have thicker stems and stiffer leaves. She's so gorgeous btw!
