What is a....

What is a snow caramel? I was messing around with marcel poots genetics calculator and was seeing what I would get if I bred my snow and butter together. (amels of course) and then I wanted to see what I would get if I bred their ofspring together. Here are the results.

Female is : Amel het. Anery A het. Caramel
Male is : Amel het. Anery A het. Caramel
Offspring is predicted :
6.25% Amel
12.50% Amel, het. Anery A
12.50% Amel, het. Caramel
25.00% Amel, het. Anery A, het. Caramel
6.25% Snow
12.50% Snow, het. Caramel
6.25% Butter
12.50% Butter, het. Anery A
6.25% Snow, Caramel

So what is a snow caramel?

because snows usually leave the yellow visible, i would be guessing it would be a very yellow snow corn, maybe something like a butter, but not as yellow.

I have my own question also. Does amelanism supercede hypomelanism, and does anery supercede caramel?

I suck at genetics but I THINK they are both recessive.... therefore both just as likely to occur...?
