What leads you to believe it is a single gene mutation and not polygenic?

Obviously its not recessive so...

I'm sure Frank has done orangasm to orangasm, which if it were dominant, would produce homozygous (double allele) "orangasms"... The only reason to get the idea that it were single gene is if multiple of these F2's started throwing whole litters of the orange phenotype. I havent seen any other reason to believe the coloration is inherited any differently than that of high color pastel lines.
