Hi Finn,
            I saw this earlier but waited to confirm the "in person" and 
not on film observations of color.
Based on streamers being to the air and arcs being to ground or another 
hard near ground target, your
colors are confirmed. Tonight I asked Robert Golka, very pointedly in the 
terms of to air and to ground,
about the colors. The pink/blue, being the N21P and N21N band head spectra 
indeed are for streamers.
The very hot ground strikes, very bright and hot, are the strikes.
A picture is here of that Wendover ~100 KW coil. As you may know, he 
watched and worked it for years.
