If you look carefully at these pictures, something interesting is observable. With the Sterling and a het next to each other, you can see that the awesome coloration of the Sterling is present and peeking out in the het. The natural pattern on the het tends to obscure the underlying colors, but they are there.

So what, you say? It just shows how the gene works. It removes the pattern-forming pigment on the top, allowing the base colors which are already there to be seen without obstruction. What will this mean with hypos, Bloods, Jungles, T 's, albinos, aneries, etc? Can't wait to find out.
