Hi Rick:

I see, I didn't word the question correctly but within the context of your post you did answer my question along with some additional interesting notes. See, my original thinking was that if crossed a light pink parent with a dark pink parent that I wouldn't get a perfect blend with normal distribution i.e. a perfect bell curve. Instead I thought the colors might be additive; and if that were the case, the bell curve would be shifted toward the dark side with some of the population exceeding the darkest parent intensity and all of the population would be darker than the lightest parent.

But, as you pointed out using Midnight as an example, that's simply (or not so simply) not the case with strains.

I thought orange was always pretty much dominant when present. What are the most recessive colors? Is there a 'pecking order' of dominance, one color over another to be aware of? Again, you know I work with Div VI, but with color dominance/recessiveness, would that be that pretty much the same 'accross the board' regardless of Division?.
