Do you think a hydrangea's color is determined by environment only, genetics only, or both?

Environment

Hydrangeas are flowers that have pink, blue, purple, and white. The thing that determines its color is the PH of the soil, these specific flowers look for aluminum. If there’s low amounts or no aluminum in the soil, hydrangea flowers will turn white to green, but if there are higher amounts it will turn blue or pink. Hope this helps!
