Ok. Thanks. I wish I had a understanding of what give zeiss the colour seperation which seems unique to their lenses.

Zeiss are famous for their microcontrast, i.e., good separation at the high frequencies in MTF curves. The question really rises how unique this is, because not all of their lenses are as good at this as some of their others. The 35 F/2, 50 F/2 and 100 F/2 specifically are renowned for this. Besides, this isn't just unique to Zeiss lenses. Try 24L, 50L and 135L, f.e.
Do note that with zoom lenses this is not as common.
Kind regards, Wim
