your questions aren't the least bit "Stupid"
there are HYPO mutations and HYPER mutations
The way I associated those two in high school biology was:
HYPO = LOW
HYPER = HIGH
Hypo mutations express less of something... usually melanin (black pigment)
Hyper mutations express more of something ... more black... more red... etc...
As far as your previous question... it isn't known as yet how many different lavender Cali king there are...
There are hypo Cali kings that are called lavenders because they are purple as hatchlings and have deep red eyes...
thing about Cali kings is there are soooo many different mutations within this subspecies, and most are unrecognized...
it's like what Kerby said:
On one end you have Albinos on the other end you have Melanistics and there are lots of different morphs in between.
