Yes, I've heard of even non morph het ghosts sometimes being pretty bright and even shedding clear so that opens another whole discussion up as to if it is caused by enhancer genes concentrated in hypo lines through selective breeding or some sporadic co-dominant effect of the ghost gene it's self.



To me the idea that the heterozygous pastels from pastel X pastel would be brighter really doesn't make that much sense. It's just that it gets repeated so often we've come up with theories to explain it just in case it really is true. I think the concentration of bright genes in pastel lines makes the most sense - whether separate enhancer genes or extra nice versions of the "normal" for pastel gene per the post below.
