I don't think so... I bought a couple of Darlingtonia from PP's just a
couple of monthe ago, and they arrived green, but after I left one in a
sunny spot outdoors, after an unusual number of sunny days, the thing turned
deep red. New growth was the normal green. I think most
anthocyanin-producers do so under general bright light, not necessarily 24
hours worth.
