If it is a true IMG(Increasing Melanin Gene)and an albino at the same time, then this is what most likely will happen. Firstly, normal albino = amelanistic(lacking black). Now if you have both traits expressed in one animal, I would expect that you would end up with adult albinos with tons of yellow/orange blushing and here is why.



Firstly, the albino trait would pretty much negate the IMG for the most part, but in my opinion an IMG isn't just black pigment, but also an increase in the brown pigment. Black washed out by the albino, will leave only the orange(think brown in a normal animal).



This is just what I believe, not proven or anything, but I think that whoever it was that posted the blushing albinos has a line that has IMG's being expressed as well.
