Some of the best colored blooms in catt and laelias are seen in Calif and Hawaii, where the nights are cooler with warms temps during the day. Couple that with a high humidity level...and you get spectacular color.

I agree, but I have to quote that in my understanding what you are describing here are a combination of factors that affect plant overall health and for that instance flower quality, in this matter here you are also describing flower size, shape, number of flowers,pseudobulb thickness, leave turgency, etc... all the whole package and not a single factor that affect one single thing on the plant.
What I am trying to say here, is that temperature with all the rest reaming constant, are not the same thing
