>>Only if the yellow pigmentation is EXTREMELY intense and hyper-exaggerated, otherwise they are just very yellow looking from so much of the black missing in their pattern, so in turn more of their normal yellow would be displayed. So in short, basically they are not hyperxanthic in my opinion. It's good that they are coined "banana" kings actually, because it would sort of be a coin toss either way otherwise..LOL!
That is the exact point I wanted you to make Doug....
A pattern mutation is not a pigment mutation.....
Just like the Applegate Phase Pyro is not Hypomelanistic because it has reduced black pattern not reduced black pigment.....The black it does have is black. The black is not reduced to some shade of gray or mocha or lavender......
