Breeder said baby is going to be cobalt....but looks turquoise to me???



Secondly....
I put cobalt in the gen calculator as single factor dark and visual blue [Is that right?]
This is the pairing I came up with...is the D for double factor?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

correct.

So if the your Input is right then what do you think should D stand for? A Little hint: double factor is wrong.

Is it Deep????

I was thinking after I posted that double factor was wrong because it would be DF right?
Ugh. I'm just thrilled that I got cobalt right you guys are the best teachers!!! I'm actually learning! Ha ha ha

female = cobalt = dark and visual blue = 0.1 D blue

So blue = blue and D = ??? ;)

madas

Sorry to butt in....but is it dark?

Dark!
So, if D = dark, what is deep?

there is no Deep in the gen cal- However, Madas has a made a calc with Deep, Emerald(aqua) and Indigo I believe...however I couldn't get it to work/install on my computer (not tech savvy)

Anyhow...Deep acts in same way as Dark does ;)

Hi

You have entered cobalt into gencalc as D Blue correct?
so D Blue = Cobalt

so lets look at your results:

1.0 grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue
x 0.1 D blue


% from all 1.0

12.5% 1.0 D grey(sf) blue = Cobalt grey
12.5% 1.0 D blue = Cobalt
12.5% 1.0 grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue =Turquoise Grey
12.5% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue = Turquoise blue
12.5% 1.0 blue
12.5% 1.0 D grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue = Cobalt turquoise grey
12.5% 1.0 D turquoise(parblue)Blue = Cobalt turquoise blue

So those would be your results and what 'D' stands for

Dark? Like single factor? Like Cobalt is single dark? Right?

Gah, I'm so dumb. lol.

That's right- single Darkfactor on Blue = Cobalt

Ok Shey, so tell me what would single darkfactor do to a turquoise or grey baby? Anything? How would the color be different?

A single or double Dark(factor) on Grey does not show- at least not visually.. A Dark Blue Turquoise in other words is just a Cobalt with the Turquoise mutation- and from what I have seen, the colour of the patches will alter (sometimes slightly) accordingly depending on what other mutations are also present- but am yet to investigate this further..
