Thanks, your thoughts are as elegant as ever...

The only way to know if the Lipstick, Gee, Pastel "variable" has an effect on the "Sharp" line, is to breed and continue to breed visual Normal's back to the "Sharp" constant. And observe and record the findings. Obviously with Gee and pastel this is easier since they aren't a albino variable per-say. Lipstick however would be difficult, but not impossible.

You would just need normal (non-het) offspring from lipstick pairings breed to a "sharp" albino, for which you breed the offspring to each other. You could do the same by breeding the son back to mother but this would decrease the potential expression.

I'm just not a fan of in-breeding....although its safe to say it has occurred.
