Hi,
Indigo seems to be a new mutation similar to emerald or acqua which is being developped in Australia. It would be a new allele of the blue locus (blue-turquoise-acqua) but it has not been widely accepted and I do not know the order of dominance in the blue series.
You can not input indigo in the genetic calculator because this mutation has not been implemented, but it should act like an autosomic recessive mutation.
Input from australian breeders would be greatly appreciated.
